Solanki dünastia (ka Tšaukukja dünastia) oli dünastia, mis valitses praeguseid India Gujarati ja Rajasthani alasid 10.–13. sajandil. Pealinn oli Anahilavada ehk praegune Patan. Vahepeal ulatus nende riik Malwani Madhya Pradeshis. Solankid kuulusid rajputide Solanki klanni.
Dünastia asutas Mularaja, kes tuli võimule pärast Chavda dünastia allakäiku. Tema pärijad võitlesid naaberdünastiatega nagu Chudasamad, Paramarad ja Shakambhari Chahamanad. Bhima I ajal aastatel 1024–1025 ründas Solankide Riiki Ghaznaviidide valitseja Mahmud ja rüüstas Somnathi templit. Solankid suutsid siiski oma võimu säilitada ning riigi tippaeg saabus 12. sajandil Jayasimha Siddharaja ja Kumarapala valitsusajal. Sel ajal olid Solankide vasallid näiteks Jalori Chahamanad ja Naddula Chahamanad. Kumarapala surmaga algas Solankide Riigi allakäik, mida põhjustasid sisetülid, vasallriikide mässud ja võõrriikide sissetungid (nt Paramarad, Ghuridid ja Jadavad. Solankide lõplikud kukutajad olid 1240. aastatel varem nende alluvuses teeninud Vaghelad.
Hiljem väitsid mitmed vürstid, et pärinevad sellest dünastiast.
When Gurjara Pratiharas power declined after the sacking of Kannauj by the Rashtrakutkas in the early tenth century many Rajput princes declared their independence and founded their own kingdoms, some of which grew to importance in the subsequent two centuries. The better known among these dynasties were the Chaulukyas or Solankis of Kathiawar and Gujarat, the Chahamanas (i.e. Chauhan) of eastern Rajasthan (Ajmer and Jodhpur), and the Tomaras who had founded Delhi (Dhillika) in 736 but had then been displaced by the Chauhans in the twelfth century.
The period between the seventh and the twelfth century witnessed gradual rise of a number of new royal-lineages in Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, which came to constitute a social-political category known as 'Rajput'. Some of the major lineages were the Pratiharas of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and adjacent areas, the Guhilas and Chahamanas of Rajasthan, the Caulukyas or Solankis of Gujarat and Rajasthan and the Paramaras of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.
By contrast in Rajasthan a single warrior group evolved called Rajput (from Rajaputra-sons of kings): they rarely engaged in farming, even to supervise farm labour as farming was literally beneath them, farming was for their peasant subjects. In the ninth century separate clans of Rajputs Cahamanas (Chauhans), Paramaras (Pawars), Guhilas (Sisodias) and Caulukyas were splitting off from sprawling Gurjara Pratihara clans...
