Arikesari Maravarman c. 640–670 CE also known as Parankusa, was a Pandya king of early medieval south India.

Arikesari's reign witnessed the beginning of the Pandya contesting with the Pallavas in the northern part of the Tamil country. He probably entered into an alliance with Chalukyas (to the counter the Pallavas). However, historian K. M. Venkata Ramaiah notes that Arikesari Maravarman later defeated the Chalukyas under Vikramaditya I at the battle of Nelveli, indicating that Pandya–Chalukya relations were not consistently allied. The Pandyas also fought with the Cheras ("Keralas") under his rule.
