Sri Andhra Vignanamu was a Telugu-language general knowledge encyclopedia, published in seven volumes between 1938 and 1941 from Kakinada and Rajahmundry. Edited by Kandukuri Bala Surya Prasada Rao (Prasada Bhupaludu), the zamindar of Devidi Estate, the work is recognized as the first fully completed encyclopedia in Telugu. It compiles extensive knowledge across various disciplines, with articles arranged alphabetically and supplemented by a separate volume published in 1941.
Though preceded by Andhra Vignana Sarvasvam, an incomplete encyclopedia initiated by Komarraju Venkata Lakshmana Rao in 1912, Andhra Vignanamu holds the distinction of being the first Telugu encyclopedia to achieve completion.
