Muṟukku (Tamil: முறுக்கு, romanized: muṟukku, lit. 'twisting') is a savoury, crunchy snack originating from the Indian subcontinent. In India, murukku is especially common in the states of Chhattisgarh, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Kerala. It is called murkulu in Telangana, janthikalu in Andhra Pradesh and mudku/murku in Odisha. Chakli is a similar Indian dish, typically made with an additional ingredient, chickpea flour.

It is also common in countries with substantial Indian and Sri Lankan diaspora communities, including Singapore, Fiji, Malaysia, and Myanmar. Called sagalay gway (စာကလေးခွေ; lit. 'baby sparrow coils') in Burmese, it is a common snack and is used as a topping for a regional dish called Dawei Mont Di.
