Koteshwara, sometimes transcribed Koteshwar, is a village in Kundapura, Karnataka state, in southern India. As of 2001 14,060 people lived in the village.

A temple located in Koteshwara gained attention when the surrounding shallow lake was cleaned in a desilting project. During the cleanup a large statue was dredged up, sparking a more concerted effort which recovered several artifacts of historic and religious significance, including several sculptures, statues, bronzework and religious icons.

Koteshwara has a very old Shiva, Pattabhi Ramachandra and Mariamma temple.
