Pappireddipatti constituency, located in Dharmapuri district, Tamil Nadu, was established in 2011 following a delimitation process that replaced the Morappur constituency. Since its creation, Pappireddipatti has seen four elections, including a bye-election in 2019 triggered by the disqualification of the then sitting MLA, P. Palaniappan.
