Wisnuwardhana, also known as Jayawisnuwardhana (died in Singhasari, 1270/1272), alias Nararya Seminingrat, was king of Tumapel from 1248 until his death in 1268 under the regnal title: Śrī Jayawisnuwarddhana Sang Mapāñji Seminingrat Śrī Sakala Kalana Kulama Dhumardana Kamalekṣana. (According to the Maribong inscription, dated 1248.)

Wisnuwardhana grew up in the court of king Ken Arok alongside Narasingamurti who would become his deputy. His childhood allowed him to understand the importance of securing succession so he appointed his son Kertanagara king in 1254, when he was still a young boy, thus securing his rule.
