'''Gopendra-Raja''' (r. c. 771-784 CE ) was an Indian king belonging to the [[Chahamanas of Shakambhari|Chahamana dynasty]] that ruled parts of present-day [[Rajasthan]] in north-western India. He is also known as Gopendraka.{{sfn|Dasharatha Sharma|1959|p=28}}<br />
<br />
Gopendra succeeded his brother [[Chandraraja I]] as the Chahamana king. According to ''[[Prithviraja Vijaya]]'', their father was [[Vigraharaja I]].{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|p=55}} The later ''[[Hammira Mahakavya]]'', however, states that their father was Vigraharaja's ancestor [[Naradeva]].{{sfn|Anita Sudan|1989|p=23}}<br />
<br />
The ''[[Prabandha Kosha|Prabandha-Kosha]]'' states that Gopendra defeated one Sultan Beg Varisa in a battle.{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|p=88}} Historian R. B. Singh theorizes that Beg Varisa might have been a subordinate of the Arab general [[Muhammad bin Qasim]].{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|p=89}}<br />
<br />
Gopendra was succeeded by his nephew [[Durlabharaja I]], who was the son of Chandraraja I.{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|p=55}}<br />
