K. P. Kandan (born 30 November 1963) is an Indian politician and was a member of the 14th Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly from the Sholinganallur constituency. He represented the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) party.^[1]

The elections of 2016 resulted in his constituency being won by S. Aravind Ramesh of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam.^[2] Kandan was one of thirteen AIADMK MLAs in the Greater Chennai area who were deselected by the party, apparently in an attempt to thwart a potential anti-incumbency backlash from the electorate following the recent flooding. It was felt that fresh faces would put some distance between the past and the present.^[3]

In September 2016, Kandan was put forward as an AIADMK candidate for the Chennai Corporation elections.^[4]

Kandan was born in Chennai on 30 November 1963. He is married.^[5]
