Kōnāṭṭ Kōrah Māttan (30 March 1860 – 8 November 1927), popularly called Kōnāṭṭ Malpān, was a priest trustee, Malankara Malpan (the Teacher of Malankara) and chorbishop of the Malankara Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church. He was elected as a priest trustee in 1901 and was one of the main leaders of the Jacobite Church during the 1912 Church Schism. He was a scholar of the Syriac language and wrote several books in it.
