Srikanthadattā Narasimharājā Wadiyar (Kannada: ಶ್ರೀ ಶ್ರೀಕಂಠದತ್ತ ನರಸಿಂಹರಾಜ ಒಡೆಯರು; 20 February 1953 – 10 December 2013) was an Indian royal, politician, and fashion designer, who served as Member of Parliament from Mysore. He was the son of Maharaja Jayachamarajendra Wadiyar, the last king of Mysore.

As a fashion designer, Wadiyar promoted the sale of Mysore silk saris under his brand Royal Silk of Mysore. In the second half of the 20th century, the southern Indian silk industry was revived, and Mysore State became a top silk producer in India under his great-uncle Maharaja Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV's reign. After his demise, he was succeeded by his grandnephew Yaduveer Wadiyar as the head of the Wadiyar dynasty.^[1]
