Matsyendra, juga dikenal sebagai Matsyendranātha, Macchindranāth, Mīnanātha dan Minapa (awal abad ke-10) adalah seorang orang suci dan yogi dalam sejumlah tradisi Buddha dan Hindu. Ia biasanya dianggap sebagai pembangkit hatha yoga serta pengarang beberapa teks terawalnya. Ia juga dipandang sebagai pendiri natha sampradaya, yang menerima ajaran-ajaran dari Siwa.[4] Ia secara khusus diasosiasikan dengan kaula shaivisme.[5] Ia juga merupakan salah satu dari delapan puluh empat mahasiddha dan dianggap sebagai guru Gorakshanath, figur penting lain dalam hatha yoga awal. Ia dimuliakan oleh Hindu dan Buddha dan terkadang dianggap sebagai inkarnasi Avalokiteśvara.

But Shiva himself is considered as the source of the Nâtha lineage and is invoked as Adinâtha or 'Primordial Lord.'" (Kindle Locations 12825-12827). "Using his third eye, Shiva gazed straight through the mountain of flesh into the fish’s stomach, where he saw Mina. He was thrilled at the discovery, saying, “Now I see who my real disciple is.” Turning to his sleepy spouse, he said: “I will initiate him rather than you.”"
