Mallikarjuna was Shilahara ruler of north Konkan branch from 1155–1170 CE.

Mallikarjuna, who succeeded Haripaladeva, was followed by Aparaditya I, but his relation to his predecessor is not known. Three inscriptions of his reign, dated in Shaka 1106, 1107, and 1108 have been discovered at Lonad, Thane and Parel, respectively. In one of them Aparaditya Is mentioned with the imperial titles Maharajadhiraja and Konkana-chakravarti, which show that he had thrown off the yoke of the Gujarat Chalukyas. He may be referred to the period 1170–1195 CE. (Dept. Gazetteer: 2002)
