Wadakkancherry (IPA: [ʋɐɖɐkːaːɲdʒeːɾi]) is a major town in Thrissur, Kerala. Up until 1860, this area was part of Chelakkara Taluk. It is the headquarters of Talappilly Taluk. Wadakkanchery obtained municipality status from the government by merging with the Mundathikode panchayath. There are two places with similarly pronounced names: Wadakanchery and Vadakkenchery (the latter in Palakkad district).
