'''K. V. Krishna Iyer''' (1894–1982) was a professor of history at [[Zamorin's Guruvayurappan College]], [[Kozhikode]]. He is considered an authority on the [[history of Kerala]]. He has authored important historical books namely ''The Zamorins of Calicut'', ''History of Kerala'' and ''History of Guruvayur'', which are based on facts from his personal research on available records like [[Olagranthangal]], [[Vattezhuthu]] and [[Kolezhuthu]] inscribed on copper plates. His radio talks on the arrival of the [[Portugal|Portuguese]], [[Netherlands|Dutch]], [[Arab]]s on the [[Malabar coast]] and their interaction with the locals were highly appreciated; as also his newspaper articles on Kerala land tenure. Two of his students, [[P. P. Ummer Koya]] and [[C. H. Mohammed Koya]], ministers in the Kerala cabinet compelled him to adorn many committees on History, Archeology and [[Anthropology]] of Kerala.{{Citation needed|date=August 2009}}<br />
