Govinda III (793–814 CE) is a famous Rashtrakuta ruler who succeeded his illustrious father Dhruva Dharavarsha.

He is militarily the most successful emperor of the dynasty with successful conquests-from Cape Comorin in the south to Kannauj in the north, from Banaras in the east to Broach (Bharuch) in the west.

From the Someshvara inscription of 804 it is known that Gamundabbe was his chief queen.
