T. A. Ramachandran was an Indian cricket umpire active during the first half of the twentieth century. He is recorded as having officiated in matches between 1912 and 1951, a span that covers much of the formative period of organised first-class cricket in India.

Ramachandran's career as an umpire began in 1912, several years before the establishment of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 1928 and the inauguration of the Ranji Trophy in the 1934–35 season. His active years therefore bridge the era of regional and presidency cricket in British India and the early decades of organised domestic competition after independence.
Umpires of Ramachandran's generation contributed to the institutional growth of Indian cricket through the transition from the Bombay Quadrangular and Pentangular tournaments to the national first-class structure built around the Ranji Trophy. Detailed records of match officials from this period are limited, and figures such as Ramachandran are often documented mainly through scorecards and tournament records.
