Narasimha III (r. 1263–1292)[1] was a ruler of the Hoysala Empire.
During his reign, an internal feud with his brother and the ruler of Kannanur, Ramanatha came to the forefront. Narasimha also had to face invasions from the Yadavas of Devagiri who attacked the Hoysala capital Dwarasamudra. However, he was able to defeat these incursions. He was succeeded by his notable son Veera Ballala III.
