''Edachena Kunkan'' (also known as Edachena Kunkan Nair) was a Wayanad Nair noble from Tirunelli, Wayanad, Kerala, India who joined the war effort of Pazhassi Raja during the 1770s and became commander of Raja's army. His younger brothers (Edachena Komappan Nair, Edachena Othenan Nair and Edachena Ammu) joined him as generals. Kunkan was a popular leader in Wayanad, gathering support from people of many classes for Raja's war against the East India Company.〔 ==Commander== Under Kunkan's leadership, Pazhassi's troops fought against Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan as far as the outskirts of Mysore. This enlarged Raja's sphere of influence, and he claimed territories as far as Nanjangud.〔Francis Buchanan – 'A Journey from Madras through the Countries of Mysore, Canara and Malabar' (1807)〕 During Hyder's siege of Thalasseri, with help from Chirakkal and Kadathanad (), Raja sent 1,000 troops commanded by Kunkan (who repulsed all assaults by the Mysore army). The siege was later broken by a joint British-Pazhassi attack in 1782.
