Gayatri Rajapatni (c.1276[citation needed]—1350) was the queen consort of Majapahit's founder and first king Kertarajasa Jayawardhana, and also the mother of Tribhuwana Wijayatunggadewi, the queen regnant of Majapahit. A devout Buddhist, she was the youngest daughter of Kertanegara, king of Singhasari.

She was an influential figure within Majapahit's inner palace and later in her life acted as the matriarch of Majapahit's Rajasa dynasty. Tradition mentioned her as a woman of extraordinary beauty with exceptional charm, wisdom, and intelligence.
