Sukanta Bhattacharya (Bengali: ??????? ??????????) (Bhô??acharjo ) (15 August 1926 – 13 May 1947) was a Bengali poet and playwright.
Along with Rabindranath Tagore and Kazi Nazrul Islam, he was one of the key figures of modern Bengali poetry, despite the fact that most of his works had been in publication posthumously.
During his life, his poems were not widely circulated, but after his death his reputation grew to the extent that he became one of the most popular Bengali poets of the 20th century.
He has had a significant influence on poet Subhas Mukhopadhyay and composer Salil Chowdhury who set some of his popular poems to music. The poetry of Sukanta Bhattacharya is characterised by its rebel nature, with socialist thoughts, patriotism and humanism, and at the same time, the touch of romanticism.
