Edaneeru Mutt () is a Hindu monastic institution renowned as a seat of art and learning located in Edneer, Kasaragod district, Kerala, India. It traces its parampara to Sri Thotakacharya, one of the first four disciples of Adi Shankaracharya, and it follows the Smarta Bhagawatha tradition and the Advaita Vedanta school of Hindu philosophy.
From 1961 to 2020, the institution was headed by Kesavananda Bharati, whose full honorific title as head of the mutt was Srimad Jagadguru Sri Sri Sankaracharya Thotakacharya Kesavananda Bharati Sripadangalavaru. The head of the mutt is also known as Edaneeru Swamiji or Pontiff of Edaneeru.
