'''Madanapala''' (reigned 1144 &ndash; 1162 CE) was the successor to the [[Pala Empire|Pala king]] [[Gopala III]] in the [[Bengal]] region of the [[Indian subcontinent]], and eighteenth and final ruler of Pala lineage reigning for 18 years. He was succeeded by [[Govindapala]], whose lineage of that name is questionable.<ref>{{cite book |last=Chowdhury |first=AM |year=2012 |chapter=Pala Dynasty |chapter-url=http://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=Pala_Dynasty |editor1-last=Islam |editor1-first=Sirajul |editor1-link=Sirajul Islam |editor2-last=Jamal |editor2-first=Ahmed A. |title=Banglapedia: National Encyclopedia of Bangladesh |edition=Second |publisher=[[Asiatic Society of Bangladesh]]}}</ref><br />

During his reign, the encroachment by the [[Sena dynasty]] eventually reduced the Pala domains to Bihar. In [[Harikela]], the [[Varman dynasty]] were conquered by the Sena dynasty leaving the Palas as the only other significant power in Bengal.<br />
