Thalavoor (Malayalam:തലവൂര്‍, IAST: Talavūr) is a village located in the district of Kollam in the Kerala state of India. It is 77 km to the north of the State Capital, Thiruvananthapuram, and 28 km to the east of District Capital, Kollam. Thalavoor village is bordered by Pattazhy village to the north, Pidavoor village to the north-east, Vilakkudy village to the south-east, Melila village to the south and Mylom village to the west.

Up to 18th century, this land was a part of "Ilayidathu Swaroopam", a principality ruled by a branch of the Travancore Royal Family. Kottarakkara was the capital of Ilayadathu Swarupam. At that time, most of the leaders (Malayalam: Thalavanmaar) in the Ilayidathu Swaroopam were from this place. They headed various departments of this royal dynasty. Hence this place came to known as "Thalavoor", meaning "Thalavanmaarude Ooru".
