Karkala (Tulu/Kannada/Konkani: ಕಾರ್ಕಳ [kaːrkəɭɐ]) is a town and the headquarters of Karkala Taluk in the Udupi district of Karnataka, India. Located about 380 km from Bangalore, it lies near the Western Ghats.

The first name of this town was Pandya Nagari (ಪಾಂಡ್ಯ ನಗರಿ), named during the Jain regime, but afterwards it was changed to Karikallu (ಕರಿಕಲ್ಲು) because of black stones. Over time, the name changed to Karkal (ಕಾರ್ಕಲ್) and then to Karkala (ಕಾರ್ಕಳ).

Karkala has a number of natural and historical landmarks, including the Ramasamudra Lake.
