English: Aihole temples and monuments, also called Aivalli or Ayyavole or Aiholi temples and monuments, are a collection of over 100 temples built predominantly between 6th and 8th century near Malaprabha river in Karnataka. At this point, the river turns northwards towards the Himalayas which likely had significance as a location.

Though defaced and damaged after the region was conquered by Muslim commanders of the Delhi and Bijapur Sultanate, the collection is one of the earliest surviving temples and window to ancient Indian arts, religious beliefs, society and architecture. Almost all temples are related to Hinduism, but these co-exist with a few Jain temples of this period and one Buddhist monument. Both north Indian and south Indian styles fuse here, with monuments suggesting experimentation of ideas and building styles under the sponsorship of late Gupta period Hindu kingdoms, particularly the Calukyas and Rashtrakutas.

The Jain monuments are few and variously dated to 5th to 7th century. They were built and sponsored by commanders or kings belonging to the Hindu kingdoms according to the inscriptions near the Jaina temples. Compared to the profusion of carvings and artworks found in Hindu temples of this period, the Jain temples are simpler and dedicated to Tirthankaras in standing posture.
