Thalakkal Chanthu, also spelled Thalakkal Chandu, was an archer and commander-in-chief of the Kurichya soldiers of the Pazhassi Raja who fought British forces in the Wayanad jungles during the first decade of the 19th century.
Chanthu began his career under Edachena Kunkan, who later promoted him to the rank of general.[citation needed] Pazhassi Raja and his other generals and troops saw Chanthu as their ablest war leader.[citation needed]
