Musa kattuvazhana is a species of wild banana in the genus Musa (family Musaceae). First described by K.C. Jacob in 1952, it is notable for its distinct characteristics and its potential role in elucidating the diversity and evolution of bananas. Although many taxonomists treat it as a synonym of Musa acuminata subsp. burmannica, its precise status remains under debate.
