Eradi is a subcaste of the Samantan Nair and Kiriyathil Nair community from the Indian state of Kerala. The Samoothiri (Zamorin), the erstwhile monarchs and hereditary rulers of the kingdom of Kozhikode, belong to this subcaste. They derive their name from the province of Eranad, where they were the ruling chiefs.
