Malayalam Britannica is the popular but false name attached to a reference work in the Malayalam language, named Malayalam Encyclopedia, which is by and large a translation of the Britannica Concise Encyclopædia into Malayalam, the language spoken mainly in Kerala, a southern state of India.
While it won an award from the Federation of Indian Publishers in 2004, a Consumer Court later banned the sale of the book because it was found to be an erroneous reference with many factual errors. The court also found that there was unfair trade practice on the part of the publishers, which are DC Books, Kerala and Encyclopædia Britannica India Pvt.Ltd, a subsidiary of Encyclopædia Britannica Inc.
