Jatindranath Sengupta (or Yatīndranātha Senagupta) (26 June 1887 in Patilpara, Purba Bardhaman – 17 September 1954) was an Indian Bengali-language poet and writer.

[1][2] Born to Dwarkanath Sengupta and Mohitkumari Devi, Jatindranath had his early education in his home village Haripur, about three miles away from Shantipur a seat of Vaishnav culture in the district of Nadia.

It was a rather poor family that the poet belonged to and his father Dwarkanath spent most of his active life as the Headmaster of a school at Patishar (now in Bangladesh) owned by the Tagore estate.

An ardent believer in Gandhism he tried to make both ends meet by spinning yarns in Charkha and by producing home made match boxes with the help of unemployed village boys.

Scholars generally agree that the trio of Jatindranath Sengupta, Mohitlal Majumdar and Kazi Nazrul Islam heralded modernism in Bengali poetry.
