Haleri Kingdom refers to the monarchistic dynasty that ruled the Kodagu region of Karnataka in India for over 200 years between 1600–1834 CE. The kingdom was named after a place called Haleri near Madikeri which they made as their capital. The Haleri kings were devout Lingayats and were an offshoot of the Keladi Nayakas, a prominent dynasty that ruled in post-medieval Karnataka. The kingdom's origin is traced to Veeraraja, a nephew of Sadashiva Nayaka of the Keladi dynasty.
