King Mānadeva (464–505 AD), also Mandev or Mandeva (Nepali: मानदेव), was a king of Licchavi dynasty in present-day Nepal. He was the son of Dharmadeva, grandson of Shankardeva and the great grandson of Vrsadeva. He suppressed the feudal chiefs of the east and west and also conquered Mallapuri. He minted coins called Mananka and constructed the palace of Managriha for himself which later became a center of administration of the Licchavi kings.
