Upendranath Bandyopadhyay (Bengali: উপেন্দ্রনাথ বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায় Upendra Nath Bandyopadhyay) (6 June 1879 – 4 April 1950) was an Indian revolutionary, writer, and teacher from Chandannagar in Hooghly district, West Bengal. A former student of Chandernagore Government College and Calcutta Medical College, he left academia to explore spiritual India. Deeply influenced by nationalist ideas, he joined the Jugantar group and edited its journals Jugantar Patrika and Bande Mataram. He was arrested in 1908 in connection with the Alipore Bomb Case and sentenced to life imprisonment in the Andaman Islands. After his release in 1920, he turned to literature, penning the prison memoir Nirbasiter Atmakatha, a landmark work in Bengali revolutionary literature.
