Saluva Narasimha Deva Raya was an emperor of the Vijayanagara Empire from the Saluva Dynasty.
In 1452, he was given the title Mahamandaleshwara of Chandragiri during the reign of Mallikarjuna Raya. Afterwards, once Mallikarjuna died, Saluva Narashima took over the throne through conquering Masulipatana, Kondavidu and Udayagiri, thus beginning the Saluva Dynasty.
As king, Saluva Narashima tried to expand the empire, though he continually faced difficulties caused from rebelling chieftains. By 1491, he lost Udayagiri to Gajapati Kapilendra while the Chiefs of Ummattur and Srirangapatna still remained unchallenged threats to the empire.
Saluva Narashima eventually died on 1940. However, at the time, his sons were too young to ascend to the throne. Because of this, the sons were left to the care of Narasanayaka, a loyal general and minister from the Tuluva family.
