'''Chamundaraja''' (r. c. 1045-1065 CE ) was an Indian king belonging to the [[Chahamanas of Shakambhari|Shakambhari Chahamana dynasty]]. He ruled the Sapadalaksha country, which included parts of present-day [[Rajasthan]] in north-western India.

Chamundaraja succeeded [[Viryarama]], who had succeeded [[Vakpatiraja II]]. According to historian R. B. Singh, Virayarama and Chamundaraja were sons of Vakpatiraja.{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|p=124}} According to Dasharatha Sharma, all three were sons of [[Govindaraja III]].{{sfn|Dasharatha Sharma|1959|p=34}}

Chamundaraja's predecessor Viryarama had been killed by the [[Paramara]] king [[Bhoja]]. It is possible that the Paramaras occupied Shakambhari for a brief period. According to historian [[Dasharatha Sharma]], Chamundaraja would have evicted them with support from the [[Chahamanas of Naddula|Naddula Chahamana]] ruler [[Anahilla]]. The [[Sundha Mata Temple|Sundha]] inscription of the Naddula Chahamanas claims that Anahilla killed Bhoja's general Sadha, and captured Shakambhari.{{sfn|Dasharatha Sharma|1959|pp=34-35}}

Chamundaraja appears to have defeated a Muslim army, as suggested by multiple texts including ''[[Prabandha Kosha]]'', ''[[Hammira Mahakavya]]'' and ''Surjana Charita''. The ''Prabandha Kosha'' describes him as "the slayer of the [[Sultan]]", while the ''Hammira Mahakavya'' states that he defeated one "Hejim-ud-Din". The Chahamana kingdom bordered the [[Ghaznavids|Ghaznavid Empire]], and it is possible that Chamundaraja foiled a Ghaznavid invasion. No Ghaznavid Sultan after [[Mawdud of Ghazni]] is known to have personally led an army to India; it is possible that the "Sultan" slayed by Chamundaraja was a Ghaznavid general.{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|p=125}}

According to ''[[Prithviraja Vijaya]]'', Chamundaraja commissioned a [[Vishnu]] temple at Narapura (modern [[Narwar, Ajmer|Narwar]] in [[Ajmer district]]).{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|p=124}}

Chamundaraja was succeeded by his son [[Durlabharaja III]],{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|p=125}} who was succeeded by his other son [[Vigraharaja III]].{{sfn|Dasharatha Sharma|1959|p=36}} The [[Bijolia]] inscription places one Simhata between the Chamundaraja and Durlabharaja III. According to Dasharatha Sharma, Simhata could have been an elder brother of Durlabharaja.{{sfn|Dasharatha Sharma|1959|p=35}}
