Veer Shivaji (English: Brave Shiva) is an Indian historical drama series that aired on Colors TV. The show focuses on the life of Chhatrapati Shivaji, the 17th century founder of the Maratha Empire. It premiered on 2 September 2011 and was produced by Contiloe Telefilms, who had earlier created the historical drama Jhansi Ki Rani on Zee TV. Due to the instant success and popularity and with TRP of more than 2.60, the show timing were extended to five days a week (Monday to Friday at 8:30 pm) from 3 October 2011.

After the introduction of adult Shivaji (from Paras Arora to Amol Kolhe), the drama's target rating points began to dip drastically. The show abruptly ended on 25 May 2012.
