An Imperial Disaster: The Bengal Cyclone of 1876 is a work of history by the New Zealand scholar Benjamin Kingsbury.

Originally formulated as the author's PhD thesis at Victoria University of Wellington in 2016, the book was published in 2018 to critical acclaim.

It deals with the 1876 Bengal cyclone, which was one of the worst natural disasters of the 19th century and claimed up to 300,000 lives, but is almost completely forgotten today.

It has been praised by South Asian scholars such as Sunil Amrith (Harvard), Chandrika Kaul (St Andrews), Nandini Gooptu (Oxford), Peter Robb (SOAS), and Rochona Majumdar (Chicago).
