Tiruvalla (previously spelled Thiruvalla) (Malayalam: തിരുവല്ല), is a historic town and a Taluk headquarters located in Pathanamthitta district in the State of Kerala in South India.

The town is named after the famed Mahavishnu Hindu temple named Sreevallabha temple and associated Vedic school that used to be called Sreevallabhapuram. The colloquial term for "Sree" is "Thiru", and thus the name Thiruvallabhapuram, or just Thiruvalla. The town is the source of many important historic copper plates from 10th and 11th-century. The temple, the associated Hindu monastery and college formed a Maha-kshetra for regional Hindus. It has pre-10th century roots that received grants and gifts from many kings and wealthy patrons.

Thiruvalla is currently the economic, educational and financial hub of central Tranvancore region. It is the source of one of the highest concentration of Non Resident Indians in Kerala.
