Mathrubhumi Azhchappathippu is an Indian general interest weekly magazine published by the Mathrubumi Printing and Publishing Company in Kozhikode. The Malayalam language magazine started publishing on 18 January 1932.

Some of the finest literary works produced in Malayalam were initially published in Mathrubhumi Illustrated Weekly. This include Uroob's Ummachu (1954), Thakazhi Sivasankara Pillai's Footsteps (1964), O. V. Vijayan's The Legends of Khasak (1968) and M. Mukundan's On the Banks of the River Mahé (1974). Authors such as M. T. Vasudevan Nair and N. V. Krishna Warrier served as the editors of the magazine.

Conceived as the mouthpiece of India's freedom movement, Mathrubhumi is one of the front-runners among the Malayalam newspapers. The first copy of Mathrubhumi was published on 18th of March 1923 -- the day before the first anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi's arrest for the first time by the British police. Led by K.P.Kesava Menon, the prominent freedom fighter, as Editor and K. MadhavanNair as Managing Director, Mathrubhumi was envisaged for spreading the message of the great National Movement. In the beginning, the paper was published a week and had just one edition from Kozhikode (Calicut). A newspaper born out of relentless passion of freedom fighters, Mathrubhumi went on to become an inalienable part of Kerala's social fabric.
