The Chahamanas of Naddula, also known as the Chauhans of Nadol, were an Indian dynasty. They ruled the Marwar area around their capital Naddula (present-day Nadol in Rajasthan) between 10th and 12th centuries. They belonged to the Chahamana (Chauhan) clan of the Rajputs.

The Chahamanas of Naddula were an offshoot of the Chahamanas of Shakambhari. Their founder was Lakshmana (alias Rao Lakha) was the son of the 10th century Shakambari ruler Vakpatiraja I. His brother Simharaja succeeded their father as the Shakambhari ruler.[1] The subsequent rulers fought against the neighbouring kingdoms of the Paramaras of Malwa, the Chalukyas of Gujarat, the Ghaznavids, as well as the Chahamanas of Shakambhari.[2] The last ruler Jayata-simha was probably defeated by Qutb al-Din Aibak in 1197 CE.[3]
