'''Bidaram Krishnappa''' (1866–1931) was a musician and composer of [[Carnatic music|Carnatic]] Indian music in the court of King [[Chamaraja Wodeyar]] IX (1862–1894) and King [[Krishna Raja Wadiyar IV]] (1884–1940) of the [[Kingdom of Mysore]].

Bidaram Krishnappa was a [[Konkani people|Konkani]]-speaking [[Gowda Saraswath Brahmin]] and a native of [[Nandalike]] in modern [[Udupi district]], [[Karnataka]]. When he was a boy he had a chance encounter with a rich businessman who loved music. This happened when hungry Krishnappa, who came from a poor family, was singing a devotional song (''devaranama'') in a local temple. Impressed with his voice, the merchant sponsored Krishnappa to train under the guidance of a musician called Ramaswamy. He later came under the influence of Tammayya and Veena Sheshanna.<ref>Pranesh, Meera Rajaram (2003), ''Musical composers during Wodeyar dynasty, 1638-1947 A.D.''. Vee Emm Publications, p149</ref> Bidaram Krishnappa is credited with having popularised the singing of Kannada ''devaranama'' on stage. He adapted certain concepts of [[Hindustani music]] into his Carnatic compositions. For his scholarship in music, he earned the titles "Shudda Swaracharya", "Pallavi Krishnappa" and "Gana Visharada". One of his disciples, [[T. Chowdiah]], went on to become a music legend. Krishnappa was most famous for writing and rendering ''devaranama'' and ''[[kirtan]]s''.<ref>Pranesh (2003), p151</ref>
