Vinodini Ramanbhai Nilkanth (9 February 1907 – 29 September 1987)[1] was an Indian Gujarati writer, translator, and academic.

Her mother, Vidyagauri Nilkanth, was a social reformer and educator, and one of the first women in Gujarat to graduate from university.

In addition to her own literary work, Nilkanth translated Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice into Gujarat.

From 1949, she wrote a column Ghar Gharni Jyoti in a daily paper, Gujarat Samachar, which became very popular.

[1][3] Nilkanth's short story Dariyav Dil was adapted into Gujarati film Kashino Dikro (1979) directed by Kanti Madia.
