Prabhakara (IAST: Prabhākara) active c. 6th century was an Indian philosopher-grammarian in the Mīmāṃsā tradition of Kerala.

==Probable date== Hariswamin's commentary on Shatapatha Brahmana which dates to 638 CE discusses the doctrine of Prabhākara's followers. Prabhākara in his commentary Bṛhatī on the Śabara Bhāṣya quotes only Bhartṛhari (4-5 CE) and Bharavi (5-6 CE). Thus his probable time can be assigned to the latter half of the 6th century.
