Vigraharaja I (r. c. 734-759 CE ) was an Indian king from the Chahamana dynasty. He ruled parts of present-day Rajasthan in north-western India. He is also known as Vigrahanṛpa.^[1]

Vigraharaja succeeded his father Ajayaraja I as the Chahamana ruler.^[2] The Prithviraja Vijaya praises him using conventional eulogies, which indicates that that he achieved military successes.^[3]

According to Prithviraja Vijaya, Vigraharaja had two sons: Chandraraja and Gopendraraja. He was succeeded by Chandraraja, who in turn was succeeded by Gopendraraja.^[2] The later Hammira Mahakavya mentions Chandraraja ("Shri Chandra") as the son of Vigraharaja's ancestor Naradeva.^[4]
