Jagajjaya Malla (Nepal Bhasa: जगज्जय मल्ल) was a Malla ruler and the thirteenth king of Kantipur, comprising the Kathmandu Valley. He succeeded Bhaskara Malla in 1722 as the King of Kantipur. Jagajjaya was the grandson of Mahipatendra Malla (son of Pratap Malla).[1][2]

Jagajjaya Malla's reign was generally peaceful and no any significant battles took place during his reign although minor disputes repeated frequently with Bhupatindra Malla of Bhadgaon. Relationship with Patan was better because his daughter was married to the king of Patan, Vishnu Malla. He also received tributes from the kings of Morang, and Makawanpur.[1]

He issued mohar coins that contained his grandfather's (Mahipatendra Malla) as well as his wife's name. Following him, the later kings also inscribed Mahipatendra Malla's name in the coins.[2]

During his reign, Prithvi Narayan Shah had extended his kingdom as far as Nuwakot.[3]
