Veera Ballala I (r.1102–1108 CE) succeeded Eereyanga as king of the Hoysala Empire. He was a Jain by fath. His rule was short and uneventful other than subduing the Chengalvas and the Santharas. He made some unsuccessful attempts to overthrow the overlordship of the Western Chalukyas but was brought under control by Chalukya Vikramaditya VI.

According to Sen, his rule was from 1100-1110 with the capital at Belur. An alternate capital was at Halebidu.^[1]
