The Pīṭhīpatis of Bodh Gaya (also known as the Pithipatis of Magadha or simply the Pithis) were the rulers of the area around Bodh Gaya from roughly the 11th to 13th centuries CE in the Magadha region of what is now Bihar in India. Pithi refers to the diamond throne where the Buddha was said to have gained enlightenment.

The Pithipati chiefs styled themselves with the title of Acarya in addition to Pīṭhīpati. Pithipati Buddhasena also termed himself as magadhādipati (ruler or lord of Magadha).
