Vrindavan, Vrindâvana ou Brindavan désigne à la fois une ville et une région de l'Uttar Pradesh (Inde) qui constituent un centre de pèlerinage lié au culte de la divinité hindoue Krishna. Située au bord de la Yamuna, à une dizaine de kilomètres au nord de Mathura que les Hindous considèrent comme le lieu de naissance de ce dieu, Vrindavan est, selon la légende, l'endroit où Krishna passa sa jeunesse, entouré des gopis. La ville est un important lieu de pèlerinage.
