Vigraharāja I (r. c. 734–759 CE) was an Indian king from the Chahamana dynasty. He ruled parts of present-day Rajasthan in north-western India. He is also known as Vigrahanṛpa.[1]

Vigraharaja succeeded his father Ajayaraja I as the Chahamana ruler.[2] The Prithviraja Vijaya praises him using conventional eulogies, which indicates that he achieved military successes.[3]

According to Prithviraja Vijaya, Vigraharaja had two sons: Chandraraja and Gopendraraja. He was succeeded by Chandraraja, who in turn was succeeded by Gopendraraja.[2] The later Hammira Mahakavya mentions Chandraraja ("Shri Chandra") as the son of Vigraharaja's ancestor Naradeva.[4]
