Kodungaiyur is a residential neighbourhood in the northernmost part of city of Chennai, Tamil Nadu state, India. It comes under Perambur Taluk of Chennai City District.

National Highway 5 (NH 5) touches this area in southwest at Moolakadai.
Earlier, the ward numbers were 01 (Kodungaiyur West) and 02 (Kodungaiyur East).

Distances from parts of the city to Kodungaiyur:
Kaviarasu Kannadasan Nagar (KKD Nagar) is a part of 'Kodungaiyur' in the city of Chennai and both (KKD Nagar & Kodungaiyur) are not separate geographical locations (since it is assumed wrongly that they are different localities as name boards of most commercial establishments display 'KKD Nagar, Chennai-118' and very few shops display 'KKD Nagar, Kodungaiyur, Chennai-118').
Chinna Kodungaiyur and Periya Kodungaiyur alone do not account to the Kodungaiyur's total geographical area as they are merely parts of Kodungaiyur.
Kodungaiyur dumpyard is said to be the largest dumpyard in Chennai city maintained by Chennai Corporation. It has many harmful effects on residents in the vicinity, in violation of MSW Rules framed by Ministry of Environment and Forests. The Corporation of Chennai planned it to close it by 2015 but no work has been done on the ground. Failed promises by government agencies led to the mass protests by the people of Chennai every now and then and initiation of on-line petition which intensified during January 2015 to scientifically close it down and convert it into a park.
Metropolitan Transport Corporation (MTC) runs passenger buses to Kodungaiyur from other major parts of the Chennai city. There are 3 Bus terminuses in Kodungaiyur. They are Kaviarasu Kannadasan Nagar (KKD Nagar), Parvathi nagar and Muthamizh nagar.
