'''Andhra Kavula Charitramu''' ([[Telugu language|Telugu]]: ఆంధ్ర కవుల చరిత్రము; meaning ''Chronicle of Telugu Poets'') is a compilation of the life histories of Telugu [[poet]]s by [[Kandukuri Veeresalingam]] (1848-1919). It was published in three parts by Hitakarini Samajam, [[Rajahmundry]]. It is a history of Telugu literature, though the author dealt more with the lives of the poets than their poetry.<ref>{{cite book |last1=K. M.
