The Tirupalliyeḻuchi (Tamil: திருப்பள்ளியெழுச்சி, romanized: Tirupaḷḷiyeḻucci, lit.'the rousing of the sacred temple'), also rendered Tirupalli Eluchi, is a work of Tamil Hindu literature written by Tondaradippodi Alvar, comprising ten hymns. The title of this work is a reference to the act of Suprabhatam, a Sri Vaishnava ritual, the prayer at dawn that is believed to rouse Vishnu from his sleep and protect the world. The work is part of the compendium of the hymns of the Alvars, known as the Nalayira Divya Prabandham.

Tirupalliyeḻuchi, as a ritual, is performed prominently throughout the month of Margaḻi in the Vishnu temples of South India.
