Vikrāntavarman IV (Chinese: 陽補孤施離皮蘭德加拔麻曡; pinyin: Yáng Bǔ Gū Shīlí Pílándéjiābámádié[i]), was a king of Champa, allegedly reigning from 1030 to 1041. Pílándéjiābámádié succeeded after a king named Yang Pu Ku Sri (Chinese: 楊卜俱室離, pinyin: Yáng Bǔ Jù Shìlí).

In October 1030, Vikrantavarman IV sent a diplomatic delegation to the emperor of China, along with tributes of enormous amount of exotic putchuk (Dolomiaea costus or Indian costus), turtle shells, frankincense, ivory, rhino horns.[1] His reign was apparently struggling with hardship and nothing more is known about him.[2]

His succeeding son and crown prince was Jaya Simhavarman II (r. 1041–1044).
