Nizampatnam, also known as Petapolly (Peddapalli), is a seaport town in Andhra Pradesh state of southern India. Nizampatnam is located in Guntur District, of which it is a mandal, in the delta of the Krishna River, which empties into the Bay of Bengal. The Dutch occupied the city as a trading post from 1606 to 1668.

A medium-sized modern port complex is planned for Nizampatnam, which will include terminals for bulk cargo, intermodal containers, and liquefied natural gas. A multi-product special economic zone, including a urea manufacturing facility and an electrical power station, may be built in conjunction with the port complex.

There are 15 villages in this mandal, which was formed on 14 January 1987. The social reformer and freedom fighter Duggirala Gopala Krishnaiah comes from Kuchinapudi village of this mandal.

Naidu Venkataramana Rao was born in this great village.
