Uyarndha Manithan (English: The Noble Man) is a 1968 Indian Tamil drama film written by Javar Seetharaman and directed by Krishnan-Panju. The film was produced by A. V. Meiyappan under AVM Productions and stars Sivaji Ganesan and Sowcar Janaki in the lead roles, while S. A. Ashokan, Major Sundarrajan, Vanisri and Sivakumar play pivotal roles.

Released on 29 November 1968, Uyarndha Manithan earned positive critical feedback and went on to become a commercial success. The songs "Andha Naal Gnaabagam" and "Paal Polave" remain popular today in Tamil Nadu. The film won the National Film Award for Best Female Playback Singer at the 16th National Film Awards, for P. Susheela, making it the first Tamil film to win a National Award under that category. It also won four Tamil Nadu State Film Awards.
