Vajrakaya (Kannada: ವಜ್ರಕಾಯ) is a 2015 Indian Kannada drama film directed by Harsha. It stars Shiva Rajkumar, Nabha Natesh and Karunya Ram in the lead roles, with Avinash, Ravi Kale and Suman as supporting cast.

Viraj is an adopted kid, adopted at a young age. He falls in love with Geetha, daughter of Viraj's father's friend. Viraj's father invites Geetha's family for his wedding anniversary and proposes his son's marriage with her. But Geetha's father rejects the proposal since Viraj is an adopted kid. Viraj's father gets a heart attack and gets admitted to the hospital. After he becomes conscious, he tells Viraj that he is not an orphan and has a family with his mother and grandfather still being alive. Viraj then embarks on a journey in search of his mother, to the heartless kingdom of his grandfather. How Viraj reunites with his mother and grandfather forms the rest of the story.

Harsha collaborated with Shiva Rajkumar for the second time following the success of their previous venture Bhajarangi (2013). Filming for Vajrakaya began in June 2014. Filming of certain sequences took place in Italy. Song sequences in the film featured cameo appearances of actors of South Indian cinema such as Ravichandran, Sivakarthikeyan, Dileep and Ravi Teja.
