Shantaveri Gopala Gowda (March 14, 1923-June 9, 1972) was a socialist leader from Karnataka.He was a follower of Dr.Ram Manohar Lohia.

He mentored several socialists in Karnataka including J.H.Patel, Bangarappa, S. M. Krishna and D. Devaraj Urs,who became the chief ministers of the state. Urs was inspired and understood the depth of Gopala Gowda's mind and life which was devoted to the poor and working classes, especially the farmers. The Land reforms act and renaming of the state from Mysore to Karnataka are thanks to his association with Gopala Gowda.
