'''Sangeetha Kalanidhi''' or '''Sangeeta Kalanidhi''' (Tamil: சங்கீத கலாநிதி, Sanskrit : संगीत-कला-निधि) (''sangeetha'' = music, ''kala'' = art, ''nidhi'' = treasure or ocean) is the title awarded yearly to a [[Carnatic music|Carnatic]] musician by the [[Madras Music Academy]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Vignessh|date=2020-08-13|title=Madras Music Academy to hold Margazhi concerts online|url=https://thefederal.com/states/south/tamil-nadu/madras-music-academy-to-hold-margazhi-concerts-online/|access-date=2020-12-07|website=The Federal|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last=Kolappan|first=B.|date=2017-07-16|title=Sangita Kalanidhi award for Chitraveena maestro Ravikiran|language=en-IN|work=The Hindu|url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/music/sangita-kalanidhi-award-for-chitraveena-maestro-ravikiran/article19288982.ece|access-date=2020-12-07|issn=0971-751X}}</ref>

From 1929 to 1941, the award did not exist. The idea of the award was conceived in 1942 by the then Academy President KV Krishnaswami Iyer; and on 1 January 1943, all musicians who had presided over the annual conferences between 1929 and 1942 were awarded the title. This included 3 past presidents - Palamarneri Swaminatha Iyer (1931), Umayalpuram Swaminatha Iyer (1936) and Mangudi Chidambara Bhagavatar (1937) - who were no more, but no posthumous award has been presented since then. <ref name='award_hist'>https://sriramv.wordpress.com/2020/12/09/a-season-sans-sangita-kalanidhi/</ref>
