V Madhusoodanan Nair (Malayalam: വി. മധുസൂദനന്‍ നായര്‍) is a famous Malayalam poet from Kerala, India, who was partly responsible for renewal and popularizing of poetry to the masses through recitation. He was born on 25 February 1949 at Aruviyodu near the river Neyyar, Thiruvananthapuram Kerala. Madhusoodhanan Nair imbibed quite early the tradition of many a ritualistic song from K.Velayudhan Pillai, his father, who was a reciter of Thottam Pattu. He completed his Post Graduation in Malayalam literature from Trivandrum University College. Soon after securing his M.A., he had a brief stint in journalism before joining St. Xavier’s College, Thiruvananthapuram.
