Natera (or, Naṭerā) refers to one of the 84 castes (gaccha) in the Jain community according to Mr. P. D. Jain. The Jain caste and sub-caste system was a comparatively later development within their community, and it may have arisen from the ancient classification of 󳾲ṇa, ṣaٰⲹ, ղśⲹ and Śū. Before distinction of these classes (such as Natera), the society was not divided into distinct separate sections, but all were considered as different ways of life and utmost importance was attached to individual chartacter and mode of behaviour.

According to Dr. Vilas Adinath Sangava, �Jainism does not recognise castes (viz., Natera) as such and at the same time the Jaina books do not specifically obstruct the observance of caste rules by the members of the Jaina community. The attitude of Jainism towards caste is that it is one of the social practices, unconnected with religion, observed by people; and it was none of its business to regulate the working of the caste system� ().

The legendary account of the origin of these 84 Jain castes (e.g., Natera) relate that once a rich Jain invited members of the Jain community in order to establish a śⲹ- (i.e. Central Association of Traders). In response, 84 representatives came from different places, and they were later seen as the progenitors of these castes. Various sources however mention differences in the list.
