Annavaram is a village situated on the banks of the pampa river in the East Godavari district of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.

Anna translates to "what you desire", while "varam" means boon or godsend. Hence, the name Annavaram is an expression of the belief that the deity will endow one with whatever one desires.

Annavaram is famous for the vaishnavite temple dedicated to Veera Venkata Satyanarayana Swamy, a form of Vishnu. It is situated upon the Ratnagiri Hills of Annavaram. The land is considered to belong to both Lord Sri Veera Venkata Satyanarayana Swami Temple and Goddess Anantalaxmi Satyavathi Ammavaru.
