'''Edneer Mutt''' ({{lang-ml|{{transl|ml|ISO|eṭanīr maṭhaṁ}}}}) is a Hindu monastic institution renowned as a seat of art and learning located in [[Edneer]], [[Kasaragod district]], [[Kerala]], [[India]]. It traces its [[parampara]] to Sri Thotakacharya, one of the first four disciples of Adi [[Shankaracharya]], and it follows the [[Smarta tradition|Smarta]] Bhagawatha tradition and the [[Advaita Vedanta]] school of [[Hindu philosophy]].

From 1961 to 2020, the institution was headed by [[Kesavananda Bharati]], whose full honorific title as head of the [[matha|mutt]] was ''Srimad Jagadguru Sri Sri Sankaracharya Thotakacharya Kesavananda Bharati Sripadangalavaru''. The head of the mutt is also known as Edneer Swamiji or Pontiff of Edneer.

Edneer Mutt was involved in ''[[Kesavananda Bharati v. State of Kerala]]'', where the [[Supreme Court of India]] developed the [[basic structure doctrine]] of [[constitutional law]] in striking down an attempt by the [[Government of Kerala]] to size the mutt's property.<ref>[https://archive.today/20130117220404/http://barandbench.com/brief/3/2103/when-i-met-keshavananda-bharathi#.Ug-gz4Fg-YQ When I met Keshavananda Bharathi | Bar and Bench]</ref><ref>[http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/the-case-that-saved-indian-democracy/article4647800.ece The case that saved Indian democracy - The Hindu]</ref><ref>[http://www.indiankanoon.org/doc/257876/ Kesavananda Bharati ... vs State Of Kerala And Anr on 24 April, 1973]</ref><ref>http://www.supremecourtcases.com/index2.php?option=com_content&itemid=1&do_pdf=1&id=231</ref><ref>[http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?233587 Kesavananda Bharati's Case | Arijit Pasayat, Ashok Bhan, Y.K.
