Samyuktha Hegde is an Indian actress who appears in South India films. She made her debut with the film Kirik Party opposite Rakshit Shetty, directed by Rishab Shetty. She played the role named Arya, for which she won Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress – Kannada.

She also participated in reality shows MTV Roadies, Bigg Boss Kannada (2017) and MTV Splitsvilla, where she ended up as the first runner up (2018).

Samyuktha was born in Bangalore to a Christian mother and a Hindu Brahmin father. Her native village is Kelaginamane, a place in the Uttara Kannada district. She did her schooling from St. Paul's English School. She discontinued her degree course in BA psychology and journalism in Sri Bhagawan Mahaveer Jain College to continue pursuing dancing and acting.

In 2016, Hegde was cast as a parallel female lead in Rakshit Shetty's comedy-drama Kirik Party. Impressed by her Facebook profile, the makers called her for an audition that she subsequently cleared. The film received critical acclaim and emerged a major commercial success.
Hegde's performance playing the love interest of Shetty's character won praise for Hegde; a reviewer for The Times of India stated that "Samyuktha Hegde, as the bubbly Aarya, has a tough act to follow given the peppy first half and impresses by holding her own in crucial scenes", while The New Indian Express's reviewer felt that Hegde "outshone in the film along with the main character Karna".

In 2016, Hegde appeared as a contestant in the reality television show MTV Roadies. She said that being a part of the show had been her childhood dream.

In October 2018, Hegde entered MTV Splitsvilla in its eleventh season as a wild card entrant and became the runner up of the season.
