Sant Singh Sekhon (1908–1997) was an Indian playwright and fiction writer associated with Punjabi literature.

He is part of the generation of Indian authors who mark the transition of India into an independent nation, scarred by the tragedies of partition.

Sekhon was born in Lyallpur, Punjab, British India (present-day Pakistan), and grew up in his father's village in Dakha, near Ludhiana.

Much of his writing has a strong social activism message, but the questions and dilemmas facing the characters are subtly philosophical, and his plays did not see much success on stage.

[3] Subsequently, he also wrote a good bit of poetry, and also several full-length plays, mostly featuring modern themes, particularly man-woman relationships.
