Kidara I (fl. 350-385 CE) was the first ruler of the Kidarite Kingdom, which replaced the Indo-Sasanians in northwestern India, in the areas of Kushanshahr, Gandhara, Kashmir and Punjab. Kidara struck both Sasanian-style silver coins (imitating his immediate predecessor in the region Bahram Kushanshah) and Kushan-style gold coins.
