Krishnanattam or Krishnattam is a temple art in Kerala, India. It is a Kathakali-like dance drama and presents the story of Krishna in a series of eight plays. It survives in its glory at the Guruvayoor Srikrishna Temple. The performance is based on Krishna Geetha. The actors conform themselves to a set of facial expressions, movements and gestures.

The eight plays are : Avataram, Kaliyamardanam, Rasakrida, Kamsavadham, Swayamvaram, Banayuddham, Vividavadham and Swargarohanam
