Koleḻuttŭ () was a syllabic script historically employed in Kerala, south India, for writing the Malayalam language.
Kolezhuthu developed from the Vattezhuthu (script) during the post-medieval Chera period (c. 12th century onwards) in Kerala. It was used by certain Keralite communities, such as Muslims and Christians, until as late as the 18th century AD.
