Naresh (also known as "Vijaya Naresh") is an Indian movie actor and singer who portrayed lead comic roles in Tollywood in 1980s and 1990s and appears occasionally in supporting roles in 2000s. He's recently married a politician's niece, which is his third marriage.

Naresh's mother directed him in the starring role Prema Sankellu (1982), a remake of Love Story (1981 film) but the film didn't become a hit, despite the enormous success of the movies. His other film Naalugu Stamabhalata (1982) that year, became a hit.
