Paritala Ravindra (30 August 1958 – 24 January 2005), popularly known as Paritala Ravi. He was a cabinet minister in Andhra Pradesh and a Member of the Legislative Assembly. He was assassinated by his political rivals in 2005. He started as a communist in the footsteps of his father who donated his land to poor people and later entered electoral politics by joining the Telugu Desam Party. He was elected five times as Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) from the Penukonda constituency in Anantapur district, Andhra Pradesh.

Paritala Ravi's father, Paritala Sreeramulu , was a Peasant leader, and was close to Kondapalli Seetharamaiah of the then-monolithic People’s War Group. In 1975, Gangula Narayana Reddy, a factionist, Congress MLA and Sane Chenna Reddy, another factionist, killed Sreeramulu. Ravi was seventeen years old when his father was killed. Ravi and his brother, Paritala Hari, escaped the attack.

After losing his father and brother, Ravi wanted to take shelter from his rivals. He went to his maternal uncle, Kondaiah, in Seerpi Kottaala village of Uravakonda Constituency to take shelter. He married his uncle's daughter Sunitha in 1986 and took up cultivation. Ravi was one of the accused in the murder of Gangula Narayana Reddy, Narsanna and Yaadi Reddy.
