Koteshwara, sometimes transcribed Koteshwar, is a village in the Indian state of Karnataka. It is located in Kundapura taluk of Udupi district. As of 2007 21,100 people lived in the village.

A temple located in Koteshwara gained attention when the surrounding shallow lake was cleaned in a desilting project. During the cleanup a large statue was dredged up, sparking a more concerted effort which recovered several artifacts of historic and religious significance, including several sculptures, statues, bronzework and religious icons. [1]

Koteshwara has a very old Shiva, Pattabhi Ramachandra and Mariamma temple.

In Koteshwara there is a Lake of 4 acres (16,000 m2) called "Kotiteertha". In the year of 2007 the village people have renewed this lake.
