Rajaraja Chozhan was a Tamil movie about the life of the Chola king Rajaraja Chola. Veteran Tamil actor Sivaji Ganesan played the title role in this historical movie. The movie was released in 1973.

It was written by Kathal Aru. Ramanathan, and was directed by A.P. Nagarajan. One of the most expensive movie of that time, this movie also casts Muthuraman, Sivakumar, Laksmi and others. This movies was not a major box office hit. Music was scored by Kunnakudi Vaidyanathan. The failure of the movie is attributed to showing only one event in Rajaraja Chozhan's very interesting period.

The film is notable for being the first Tamil film to be made in Cinemascope widescreen process, made under license from Twentieth Century Fox, the properitor of Cinemascope.
