vte :
Kipunada (Brahmi script: Ki-pu-ṇa-dha), also Kipanadha, was probably the last ruler of the Kushan Empire around 335-350 CE. He is known for his gold coinage. He succeeded Shaka I. Kipunada was probably only a local ruler in the area stretching from Waisa to Taxila, in northwestern Punjab, and he may have been a subject of Gupta Emperor Samudragupta.

## Gupta and Kidarite successors

The coins of Kipunada in Central and Western Punjab were followed by peculiar coins minted locally in Punjab, with the name "Samudra" on them (Gupta script:), presumably connected to the Gupta Empire ruler Samudragupta. Soon after this, coinage was issued in Punjab by Kidarite Hun rulers known as Kirada, Peroz and then the famous Kidara, who occupied the territory formerly held by the Kushans.
* Local coin minted in the Punjab area with the name "Samudra" ( Sa-mu-dra, under the king's left arm), presumably Samudragupta, immediately followed those of Kipunada.
* The next coins were those of Kidarite Hun kings, starting with Kirada ( Ki-ra-da under the king's left arm), who ruled circa 350 CE.
