A. Marimuthu is an Indian politician and former Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) of Tamil Nadu. He was elected to the Tamil Nadu legislative assembly from Vanur constituency as a Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) candidate in the 1989[1] and 1996 elections. The constituency was reserved for candidates from the Scheduled Castes.[2]

Marimuthu was among several DMK legislators charged by Tamil Nadu Police in June 2005 of having assets disproportionate to their known income.[3] All charges were dismissed by the courts in 2015 due to lack of evidence.[4]
