Bir Bikram Kishore Manikya Bahadur (19 August 1908 – 17 May 1947) was a king (or Maharaja) of Tripura State. He is known as "the architect of modern Tripura".
He was succeeded by his son, Maharaja Kirit Bikram Kishore Debbarman, who was the nominal king for two years till the state's merger into India in 1949. Since he was a minor during this time, the state was governed by a Council of Regency headed by his mother, Kanchan Prava Devi.
