Pranjivandas Manekchand Mehta (1889–1981) was an Indian physician, surgeon, and Chief Medical Officer of the former Princely State of Nawanagar, Gujarat, British India, where he was the personal physician to the Maharajah Jamsaheb.
With the French radiologist, Jean Saidman, Mehta oversaw the creation of India's first solarium.
He later co-founded the Shri Gulabkunverba Ayurvedic Society dedicated to Ayurvedic studies, persuaded the Maharajah to fund a medical college in Nawanagar's capital, and co-ordinated a detailed translation of the ancient Sanskrit medical text Charaka Samhita.
