Mysore Vijayasarathi Nagendra (22 March 1933 - 27 November 1978) was an Indian cricket umpire. He stood in eleven Test matches between 1964 and 1977.[1]

On the day of his death, as the Karnataka state coach, Nagendra attended a training session in the morning before falling ill and dying from a heart attack. He had been appointed to stand in the Test between India and West Indies at Calcutta on 29 December 1978.[3]
