'''Sivasvati''' was a [[Satavahana]] king during the 1st century CE. He is mentioned in all the Puranas except the Brahmanda, and is said to have ruled for 28 years<ref name="Choubey"/><ref>Coinage of the Satavahana Empire - Inguva Karthikeya Sarma - 1980 page 132</ref>

It was probably during the reign of Sivasvati that the [[Western Satraps]] invaded Northern [[Maharastra]] and [[Vidarbha]] and occupied the districts of [[Pune]] and [[Nashik]], forcing the Satavahanas to abandon their capital [[Junnar]] and to move to Prastisthana (modern [[Paithan]]) in the vicinity of [[Aurangabad, Maharashtra|Aurangabad]].<ref name="Choubey">Tripurī, history and culture - M. C. Choubey - 2006 page 168</ref>

His Queen was probably Gautami Balashri who appears in an inscription at [[Nasik Caves]] as the donator of Cave No.3, and mother of Gautamiputra Satakarni.{{Sfn|Rao|1994|p=14}}

Sivasti was probably the father of the famous [[Gautamiputra Satakarni]], who in the Nasik inscription is said to have "destroyed the [[Sakas]], [[Yavanas]] and [[Palhavas]]; who rooted out the [[Western Satraps|Khakharata]] race; who restored the glory of the Satavahana family".<ref>Epigraphia Indica [https://archive.org/stream/EpigraphiaIndica/Epigraphia_Indica p.61-62]</ref>
