Aruvikkara Grama Panchayat, Rural governance body in Thiruvananthapuram district, India.

Aruvikkara Grama Panchayat is a local governance unit in Thiruvananthapuram covering land with agricultural fields, residential areas, and water sources. The area displays a mix of rural and semi-urban characteristics typical of this part of Kerala.

Aruvikkara Grama Panchayat was formed in 1952, with G. Thankappan Nair as its first president. A Travancore maharaja chose Aruvikkara as a site for a royal palace but withdrew after concluding it went against the goddess's will. The Aruvikkara dam was built in 1934, and the panchayat's library work began in 1952. Kalathara Madhu was president in 2021.

The Bhagavathi temple, built on a rock and dedicated to Durga, draws devotees who feed the large fish in the stream in front of it. The panchayat's wards carry old place names such as Mylam, where a village school opened in 1890, and Azhikode, site of an early Muslim mosque.

Aruvikkara is reached by KSRTC bus, the only public transport serving the panchayat, on the Nedumangad–Aruvikkara–Vattiyoorkavu–Thiruvananthapuram route; the panchayat lies about 15 km from Thiruvananthapuram. The Aruvikkara bridge, built while B. Wellington was minister, and the Chanichal bridge link the Cheriyakonni area to Aruvikkara. The temple and dam are the main stops.

In 1968, large deposits of rubies and other gemstones were found in the Karamana riverbed here, drawing gem traders to the area. The Aruvikkara reservoir is also a stopover for migratory birds.
