Satyavara Tirtha (c. 1716 - c. 1797) was an Indian philosopher, scholar and the pontiff of Uttaradi Math, a math (mutt) dedicated to Dvaita philosophy. He was the successor of Satyasandha Tirtha and the 27th pontiff of Uttaradi Math since Madhvacharya, the chief proponent and the one who rejuvenated this Dvaita philosophy and served the pontificate from 1794 to 1797.{{Sfn|Sharma|2000|p=653}}[https://books.google.com/books?id=S9phBAAAQBAJ&pg=PT1229 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Madhya-lila: The Pastimes of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu by His Divine Grace A.
