Rabindra Kumar Das Gupta (11 July 1915 – 3 February 2009) was an Indian scholar of Bengali and English literature and a social and cultural commentator.
He graduated from the Scottish Church College in 1935, where he had studied English and Bengali literature from scholars like William Spence Urquhart and Birendrabinode Roy.
While he was in Delhi, he was both a contemporary and colleague of eminent academics such as Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan and Amartya Sen. After retirement he was a professor at the Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture, Calcutta.
He contributed articles in Kolkata's English language daily, The Statesman and in the Bengali periodical Desh, till he became a nonagenarian.
He was also appointed as the Director of National Library, Kolkata but resigned later due to differences of opinion with the authorities.
In his critiques of Rabindranath Tagore and Sri Aurobindo, he emphasized the indigenous and spiritual elements in the Bengal Renaissance rather than Western influences.
