Vazhappally copper plate (c. 882/83 AD) is a copper plate inscription in the Malayalam language from Vazhappally, Kottayam, in the state of Kerala, south India. It is dated to the twelfth regnal year (882/83 AD) of the medieval Chera ruler of Kerala, Rama Rajasekhara.

The copper plate documents a temple committee resolution regarding a land grant for daily worship in the temple. The amount of paddy available from the granted land in two seasons is estimated to be over 12,200 kilograms (or around 12 tons).
