Navara rice is one of the many types of rice found in India, and is a unique grain plant in the Oryza group. It originated in Palakkad (Palghat) district Kerala, where it is regarded as endemic. In 2007–09, geographical indication status was granted. (Typically, such classification indicates an assurance of quality and distinctiveness which is primarily derived from a defined geographical region.)

The rice is often powdered and then mixed with milk and taken in the form of a cereal.

Navara also has religious significance and is sometimes used in temples for ceremonies.
