S. Jennifer Chandran (deceased 6 August 2019[1]) was an Indian politician and was a Member of the Legislative Assembly. She was elected to the Tamil Nadu legislative assembly as a Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) candidate from Tiruchendur constituency in the 1996 election.[2]
Chandran served as Minister for Fisheries in the DMK government[3] but lost her seat to Anitha R. Radhakrishnan of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) in the 2001 elections.[4]
In August 2002, after the DMK had lost power to the Jayalalithaa-led AIADMK, her house was among those raided by the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption in connection with investigations into alleged disproportionate assets held by former ministers and other DMK legislators.[5][3] The matter appeared to have been dropped after Chandran later switch her party allegiance.[6] She joined the AIADMK in 2004.[7]
