Virupaksha Raya (born 1365 CE) was an emperor of the Vijayanagara Empire.

As his rule was only for a few months, Virupaksha's reign was not marked with any significant events or changes. Still noted by the traveller that Virupaksha Raya lost a lot of the kingdom's land such as Goa, Chaul, and Dabhol to the Muslims.
