Baby Kamble (c. 1929—21 April 2012), commonly known as Babytai Kamble, was an Indian activist and writer. She was born into the Mahar community, the largest Dalit community in Maharashtra. She was a well-known Dalit activist and feminist writer who was inspired by B. R. Ambedkar, prominent national leader. Her autobiography Jina Amucha (Marathi: जिणं आमुचं, lit. 'Our Life') is considered the first autobiography by a Dalit woman in Marathi, and possibly the first in any Indian language.
