Vindhyashakti () was the founder of the Vakataka dynasty. His name might be derived from the goddess Vindhyavasini, or it could be a title or biruda referring to his patrimony in the Vindhya mountains rather than a personal name.

No inscription or record belonging to the reign of Vindhyashakti has been discovered so far. In the much later Ajanta Cave XVI inscription of the time of Harishena, Vindhyashakti is described as the "banner of the Vakataka family" and as a dvija or "twice-born". It is stated in this inscription that he added to his power by fighting great battles and that he had a large cavalry. Vindhyashakti's majesty was compared to that of the gods Indra and Vishnu. However, no regal title is prefixed to his name in this inscription.
