Krishna's Butterball (also known as Vaan Irai Kal and Krishna's Gigantic Butterball) is a gigantic granite boulder resting on a short incline in the historical coastal resort town of Mahabalipuram in Tamilnadu state of India.

Being part of the Group of Monuments at Mamallapuram, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built during 7th- and 8th-century CE as Hindu religious monuments by the Pallava dynasty it is a popular tourist attraction.It is listed as a protected national monument by the Archeological survey of India.

The original name, Vaan Irai Kal, according to the Atlas Obscura translates from Tamil as "Stone of Sky God". According to Hindu mythology, lord Krishna often stole butter from his mother's butter handi; this may have led to the namesake of the boulder. In 1969, a tour-guide is said to credit its present name, Krishna's Butterball, to Indira Gandhi who was on a tour of the city.

The Pallava king Narasimhavarman also made a failed attempt to move the rock. In 1908, then-governor of the city Arthur Havelock made an attempt to use seven elephants to move the boulder from its position due to safety concerns, but with no success.On October 12th 2019, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping took a photo in front of Krishna's Butterball holding hands during their second "informal summit".

The boulder is approximately 20 feets high and 16 feets wide and weighs around 250 tons.It seems to float and barely stand on a slope on top of 2 sq.ft high plinth which is a naturally eroded hill, and is said to have been at the same place for 1200 years.A part of the boulder on top back has eroded away, making it look like a half-spherical rock from the back, while it looks round shaped from other three sides.
