Mysore Vijayasarathi Nagendra (22 March 1933 – 27 November 1978) was an Indian cricket umpire. He stood in eleven Test matches between 1964 and 1977.[1]

M.V. Nagendra's father, M. G. Vijayasarathi, also umpired in Tests. The pair stood together in a first-class match between Mysore and Andhra during the 1960–61 season.[2]

On the day of his death, as the Karnataka state coach, Nagendra attended a training session in the morning before falling ill and dying from a heart attack. He had been appointed to stand in the Test between India and West Indies at Calcutta on 29 December 1978.[3]
