Parvathy Jayaram (née Ashwathy Kurup), better known by her stage name Parvathy (Malayalam: പാര്‍വതി), is an award-winning film actress from Kerala, India. Parvathy was a popular actress of Malayalam cinema industry and was active in films between 1986 and 1996. She later married to Malayalam film actor Jayaram, who was her co-star in many films. She now lives with her family in Chennai. She has 2 children, national-award winning child actor Kalidasan and Malavika. Her first film was directed by Lenin Rajendran but was shelved and never released. She was introduced to the industry by actor-director Balachandra Menon. She has acted opposite both the reigning superstars Mammootty and Mohanlal.

She was described as the typical Malayalee girl. Many Malayalees would remember her performances in Vadakkunokkiyanthram as the lovable innocent wife of the hero, Dineshan, played by Sreenivasan. Many would also refer to her performances in Thoovanathumbikal as a bubbly young girl, with Mohanlal and in Peruvannapurathe Visheshangal as a woman with an impertinent attitude, alongside Jayaram.
