'''Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Kannur''' is a residential school in Kannur District in the state of [[Kerala]], established in 1986–87. It comes under the Hyderabad Region of Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS).

[[Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya]]s are Indian residential schools for talented children that follow CBSE Curriculum with the three-language formula (English, Hindi, and Regional Language (Malayalam)). They form a part of the system of [[gifted education]]. The objectives of the scheme were to provide good quality modern education to talented children predominantly from the rural areas, without regard to their family's socio-economic condition.

The Vidyalaya is about {{cvt|4|km}} east of Pathippalam, Near Chendayad Village in Thalassery Taluk, It is located on a hillock called Bhagavad Padapuri, North of Chendayad, West of Cheruvancherry village, and East of Valliyayi Desam. The entire area is made up of laterite rock. No major vegetation is found except a few cashew trees. Yet the site is apt for the functioning of the school.
