Thiruvallam Sree Parasurama Swami Temple is a circular-plan Hindu temple site near Thiruvananthapuram, variously dated by scholars from 12th to 17th-century. It is situated on the banks of Karamana river.

The complex includes shrines for Vishnu avatar Parashurama, as well as those for Shiva, Brahma, Sastha, Matsyamurti, Vedavyasa, Subrahmanya and Devi. Outside the nalambalam are shrines for Ganesha and Krishna. Thus this Hindu tirtha site covers all major Hindu traditions. The Brahma shrine has inscriptions dated 1224 CE and 1237 CE, with another one that is likely from the 12th century. The Parasurama shrine, however, was added to this Hindu tirtha site, because it has architecture and design that belongs to the 15th to 17th century.

The Parasurama temple's circular vimana is notable for including the artwork for Brahma, Indra, Dakshinamurti and Narasimha. It is also a tirtha site where Hindus perform dana (charity and pinda rituals) after death in family.
