Vajrasattva (, Tibetan: རྡོ་རྗེ་སེམས་དཔའ། Dorje Sempa, short form: རྡོར་སེམས། Dorsem) is a bodhisattva in the Mahayana and Mantrayana/Vajrayana Buddhist traditions.
In Chinese Buddhism and the Japanese Shingon tradition, Vajrasattva is the esoteric aspect of the bodhisattva Samantabhadra and is commonly associated with the student practitioner who, through the master's teachings, attains an ever-enriching, subtle and rarefied grounding in their esoteric practice. In the East Asian esoteric Buddhist Diamond Realm Mandala, Vajrasattva sits to the East near Akshobhya Buddha.
