Kalligudi (also spelled Kallikudi) is a developing town and a designated administrative revenue block/taluk within the Madurai district of Tamil Nadu.
​Geographically, it is located south of the main Madurai urban cluster, sitting strategically along National Highway 44 (NH 44)—the major transport artery connecting Madurai to Virudhunagar, Tirunelveli, and Kanyakumari. It acts as a vital transition point where the dense commercial activity of Madurai begins to blend into the industrial and agricultural belts of the southern districts.
