Arikesari Maravarman (r. c. 640–690 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). The Pandyas also fought with the Cheras ("Keralas") under his rule.
