Vindhyasena (also Vindhyashakti II; r.c. 355 – c. 400 CE– ) was a king of the Vakataka dynasty and the successor of Sarvasena in the Vatsagulma branch of the line. He was succeeded by Pravarasena II.

Vindhyasena's kingdom is believed to have included the Marathwada area in modern-day Maharashtra. An inscription at Ajanta from the time of Harishena, a later Vakataka monarch, records Vindhyasena's victory against the Kadambas of Vanavasi, the rulers of Kuntala (northern Karnataka).[1]
