Ravindra Narayana Ravi (born 3^{[citation needed]} April 1952)^[2]is an Indian politician and former bureaucrat serving as the current governor of Tamil Nadu. Ravi served as governor of Nagaland from 1 August 2019 to 9 September 2021 and as Governor of Meghalaya from 18 December 2019 to 26 January 2020.

His current tenure as the governor of Tamil Nadu has repeatedly been criticized as being dictatorial by M. K. Stalin, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.^[3] His reluctance to fulfill his gubernatorial duties punctually prompted the assembly of Tamil Nadu to pass a resolution urging the government of India to specify time limits for state governors to give assent to bills.^[4]
