Deva Dynasty (c. 12th – 13th centuries) was a Bengali Hindu dynasty which originated in the East Bengal region of the Indian subcontinent; the dynasty ruled over Bengal after the Sena dynasty. The capital of the dynasty was Bikrampur in present-day Munshiganj District of Bangladesh.
This Hindu Vaishnava Deva dynasty is different from the earlier Buddhist Deva dynasty (c. 8th–9th centuries) of Samatata region of Bengal which was Koeri by caste.
