'''Kitturu Rani Chennamma''' ({{Lang-kn | ಕಿತ್ತೂರು ರಾಣಿ ಚೆನ್ನಮ್ಮ }}; born 14th November 1778 in [[Kittur]], [[Karnataka]] – died 21 February 1829) was the [[Queen regnant|Queen]] of the [[princely state]] of [[Kittur]], in what is now [[India]]. She was best known for leading an armed rebellion against the [[British East India Company]] in 1824. This was 33 years before the 1857 war of independence. The British were going to take control of Kittur under the [[doctrine of lapse]], because there was no male heir. The resistance ended with her [[martyr]]dom and she is remembered today as one of the earliest Indian rulers to have fought for independence. Along with Abbakka Rani, Keladi Chennamma and Onake Obavva she is much venerated in Karnataka as an icon of bravery and women’s pride.<ref name="Lion">{{cite book| last = Agrawal| first = M.G.| title = Freedom fighters of India, Volume 4| url = https://books.google.com/?id=zzbuJOC11BoC| year = 2008| publisher = ISHA Books| location = Delhi| isbn = 978-81-8205-468-4| page = 192 }}</ref><br />
