The Dṛṣṭivāda or Drishtivaad ("Disputation about views") is a lost text in the Jain religion. It is the last of the 12 Jain āgamas as per Śvetámbara tradition, said to be promulgated by Māhavīra himself and composed by Ganadhara Sudharmaswami.

The text is traditionally said to contain the entire knowledge of the Fourteen Purvas. However, its contents have been referred and explained in Nandi and Samavāyānga Sūtra.
