Vyttila is a commercial area in the city of Kochi, India. The urban area is home to a number of establishements and industries. Vyttila also connects the southern end of the city to the National Highway 47. Till 1967, Vytilla was a panchayat. However the November 1967 order of the Kerala Legislative Assembly amalgamated Vytilla to the newly formed Kochi Corporation.

Today Vyttila is one of the prime gateways to the city of Kochi, formerly called Cochin. It is the biggest and the busiest junction in the state of Kerala. The National Highway 47 bypass passes through Vyttila, and this bussy highway is intercepted by the thinkly packed Sahodaran Ayyappan Road, also called the S.A. Road. Apart from this there are two more roads starting from the junction, making it the bussiest and biggest in Kerala.

Vyttila is now more of a commercial location. However the area surrounding the junction are still thickly populated. Being located on the higway and at the same time with easy access to the city center, Vyttila forms a prominant node of the city. Travelling to the city interiors as well as to other districts is much easy because Vyttila is well connected by long distance busses as well as city service busses. This inturn makes it one of the best choice for residence for the floating community in Kochi. The roads and lanes on either side of S.A. Road and the NH are filled with residencial buildings. There are residents associations for each area in Vyttila. The Vyttila Residents Welfare Association is prominant among them. The association which is based at Maplachery Road, covers the entire south-west area from Vyttila junction with Maplachery Road and Bank Road as its borders.
