Jayadeva (जयदेव) est un poète indien du XIIe siècle, auteur du Gîta Govinda, un poème lyrique sur les amours de Râdhâ et Krishna, considéré comme l'un des chefs-d'œuvre de la poésie sanskrite.

Sa vie n'est connue que par la tradition orale. Il serait né dans le village de Kenduli, situé soit dans la région de Birbhum dans le Bengale actuel, soit près de Purî dans l'Orissa. Elevé dans une famille de brahmanes, il aurait mené ensuite une vie errante de sâdhu avant d'épouser une danseuse de haute caste. Il aurait fréquenté aussi la cour du râja Lakshmana Sena (v. 1178-1206) en tant que poète et pandit.

Jayadeva, que l'on appelle aussi parfois Jaydev ou Jaidev, est hautement considéré en Inde comme poète, en particulier au Bengale, et vénéré comme une personnalité sainte par les vaishnava.
