Shurasena or Shursen (Template:Langx, Template:IAST3) is a Yadava ruler of Mathura featured in Hindu mythology. He was married to a nāga (or serpent) woman named Marisha. She bore all of his children and was the cause for Vasuki's boon to Bhima.[1] He is stated to be the king after whom the Surasena Kingdom and the Yadava clan of Surasenas were named.

Shurasena was the father of Samudravijaya (himself father of Arishtanemi), Vasudeva (himself father of Vāsudeva-Krishna) and Kunti (mother of Karna and the Pandavas)[2] He is extensively mentioned in both the Mahabharata and the Puranas as the father of Vasudeva (father of Krishna) and Kunti.
