Muthumani (born Muthumani Somasundaran) is a south Indian actress, who mainly works in Malayalam films. She made her film debut through Sathyan Anthikkad's Rasathanthram in 2006. She now plays character roles in Malayalam films.

Muthumani was born in Ernakulam, Kerala to Somasundaran and Shirly Somasundaran. They were active in the theatre field, which influenced her to enter into the theatre plays. She went to St. Mary's Convent Girls High School, Ernakulam. She has worked as a child artist for All India Radio. She learned dance but later moved onto mono-act. She topped the mono-act competitions in the Kerala School Kalolsavam for nine consecutive years.

Muthumani joined and actively participated in the Amateur Theatre Wing. She played the central character, Vasundhara in Oru Dalit Yuvathiyude Kadana Katha, based on M. Mukundan's novelette. She was closely associated with the theatre groups in Kochi from her school days. It was while doing her Plus Two education that she travelled to Greece for the Ancient Greek Theatre Festival to represent India under the banner ‘Lokadharmi’ which were the only team from the Asia- Pacific region. The play was based on the Greek character Medea in which she played a 35-year-old mother of two. She won the best actress for the play Mukkanji at the Theatre Olympiad held in Orissa. She donned the role of Chethu, a masculine woman in the play. That honour eventually got her the role in Sathyan Anthikkad's Malayalam film, Rasathanthram. She also did a play called Lanka Lakshmi in which she played the Mandodari.
