'''Kumaradevi''' was the wife and co-ruler of the [[Gupta emperor]] [[Chandragupta I]] and the mother of the Gupta emperor [[Samudragupta]].
She was a [[Licchavi (tribe)|Licchavi]] princess and heiress, and the Licchavi territory was to merge into the [[Gupta kingdom]] after the marriage of her with Chandragupta I. She was recognised as a [[queen regnant]] in the new empire. Chandragupta I, throughout his reign, issued joint coinage, depicting him and Kumaradevi as joint rulers.<ref>{{cite book |author=Ashvini Agrawal |title=Rise and Fall of the Imperial Guptas |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=hRjC5IaJ2zcC&pg=PA92 |year=1989 |publisher=Motilal Banarsidass |isbn=978-81-208-0592-7 |pages=92–95}}</ref>
