Mahīdhara ("earth-bearing") was a 16th-century commentator of the Vedas. His treatises include the Mantramahodadhi ("great ocean of mantras") of ca. 1588, and the Vedadipa (veda-dīpa, "light of the Vedas"). The latter concerns the Vajasaneyi-samhita of the White Yajurveda.
Mahīdhara's namesake is a legendary mountain described in the Mahabharata, which is also an epithet of Vishnu.
The commentaries of Mahīdhara belong to a time later than Yaska.
