Manorathavarman was a king of early Champa, reigning approximately around the fifth century AD in the Thu Bồn River Valley.
He was a nephew of Gangaraja. His next successor in the dynastic line was Rudravarman I (r. 527-572), descending through Manorathavarman's sister line.[1]
He was mentioned by Chinese annals as Fan Wendi (Chinese: 范文敌, pinyin: Fàn Wéndí).[2]
