Narasimha I (Kannada: ಒಂದನೆ ನರಸಿಂಹ) (r. 1152–1173 CE) was a ruler of the Hoysala Empire. His victory over his overlord Western Chalukya Empire King Tailapa III paved the way for the declaration of independence by his successor, and is his main legacy. Tailapa III was killed by Narasimha I. He however failed to meet the challenge[clarification needed] of their Kalachuri feudatory Bijjala II. Narasimha I was overthrown by his son Veera Ballala II.
