Mahīdhara ("earth-bearing") was a 16th-century commentator on the Vedas. His treatises include the Mantramahodadhi ("great ocean of mantras"), written around 1588, and the Vedadipa (veda-dīpa, "light of the Vedas"). The latter focuses on the Vajasaneyi-samhita of the White Yajurveda.

Mahīdhara's name is associated with a legendary mountain described in the Mahabharata, which is also an epithet of Vishnu.

Mahīdhara's commentaries belong to a period later than that of Yaska.
