Nedunjeliyan I (c. 180 CE) was a Pandya king who is credited by the Sangam Age work Maduraikkanci with having won a battle against an Aryan (North Indian) army. Nedunjeliyan I was also the Pandya king of the epic Silappatikaram who later died of a broken heart. By Gajabahu synchronism, Nedunjeliyan I has been dated to about 180 CE and was a contemporary of the Chera king Senguttuvan.
