Kantipur (, ) was a medieval kingdom in the Malla confederacy of Nepal, centered in the Kathmandu Valley. It was established in 1482 after King Yaksha Malla died and his sons divided the valley into four kingdoms: Kantipur, Bhaktapur, Patan, and Banepa. The name of the kingdom was derived from a Sanskrit name of its capital city, now known as Kathmandu.
