Nayakas of Keladi, also known as Nayakas of Bednore and Kings of Ikkeri , were an Indian dynasty based from Keladi in Shimoga district, Karnataka, India.

After the fall of the empire in 1565, they gained independence and ruled significant parts of Malnad region of the Western Ghats in present-day Karnataka, most areas in the coastal regions of Karnataka, and parts of northern Kerala, Malabar and the central plains along the Tungabhadra river.
