Nannūl (Tamil: நன்னூல்) is a work on Tamil grammar written by Pavananthi Munivar around 13th century AD.[1] It is the most significant work on Tamil grammar after Tolkāppiyam.[1] The work credits Western Ganga vassal king Seeya Gangan of Kolar with patronising it.[2][3]

Nannūl was divided into five sections: written language, spoken language, semantics, poetic language and rhetorical devices. The latter three sections have been lost, so only the parts on written and spoken language are extant today.[1]

In Tamil, nūl means book, and Nannūl means good book.[1]
