Vindhyasena (), also known as Vindhyashakti II, was a ruler of the Vatsagulma branch of the Vakataka dynasty. He was the son and successor of Sarvasena I.

==Life== Vindhyasena seems to have enjoyed quite a long reign, as he issued a charter from his capital of Vatsagulma in his thirty-seventh regnal year. The charter records the grant of a village in the Nandikata region which is identified with Nanded. An inscription at Ajanta from the time of Harishena, a later Vakataka monarch, records Vindhyasena's victory against the rulers of the Kuntala in northern Karnataka, likely the Kadambas. Vindhyasena ruled over a fairly extensive kingdom that included the southern part of Berar (Vidarbha) and the districts of Nasik, Ahmednagar, Pune, and Satara, as well as the Marathwada region.
