}}Kattuvan ({{lang-ta| கட்டுவன்}}) is a small town in the northern Jaffna District of Sri Lanka.[1]

It is situated along the Vallai–Tellippalai-Arali road between Vasavilan and Tellippalai.[2] The Kattuvan Grama Sevaka (GS) division J/238 is located in the Valikamam North Division.[3][4]

Kattuvan is one of the oldest towns in Jaffna District and a traditional village. While most of the traditional folk dances of the Jaffna District vanished during the long Colonial history of Sri Lanka, the folk dance ‘vasanthan” ({{lang-ta|வசந்தன் or வயந்தன் }}) has survived until the beginning of the Sri Lankan Civil War. Though this dance form is similar to “Kolaaddam” ({{lang-ta| கோலாட்டம்}}), it has some unique features. It has an original rhythm and tune as well as old traditional lyrics. It is performed in temples by adult males during "Navarathiri" ({{lang-ta|நவராத்திரி}}) festival time. It is also believed that the performance at the temple will bring rain.

Tamil scholar Pandithar Namasivayam who was a student of Vidwa Siromani C. Ganesha Iyer is from Kattuvan. He was awarded the honor of illakkanna viththakar ({{lang-ta|இலக்கண வித்தகர்}}) by the University of Jaffna at its first convocation in 1979.

Due to the Sri Lankan Civil War the village has come under the high security zone[5] since 1990 being proximate to the Palali military base adjoining Palali airport.[6][7]

Sri Lankan government cabinet has decided to release 400 acres in Palai Veemankamam south and Varuthalaivilan, 300 acres in Kattuvan and Kurumbasiddy[8] for re-settlement[9]

Araly-Tellippalai road up to Kattuvan junction was released from army control in July 2016. The rectangular area covering the places Tellippalai, Kattuvan and Mallakam is completely released.[10]
