Sarasibala Basu (1886–1929)[1] was a novelist, story teller, poet from the Bengal region of the Indian subcontinent.

Her writings, novels and poems, were published in the prestigious periodicals of the day, including, Bharatbarsha, Prabasi, Manashi, and Marmabani.

Though she never belonged to the Brahmo Samaj, a social reform movement pioneered by the great Raja Rammohan Roy, its influences are apparent in her writings.

She became a didi, an elder sister, to many rising stars of Bengali literature, including, Probodh Sanyal, Ashapurna Devi, Narendra Deb, and Nirmal Baral.

Sarasibala had a difficult family life; with her husband's modest income, she managed to raise her nine children, maintain a kitchen garden, a mangrove, a few cattle and do all the housework, and as much social service to the needy as she could squeeze in.
