Vishnu Ganesh Pingle (2 January 1888 – 16 November 1915) was an Indian revolutionary and a key member of the Ghadar Party. Born in Pune, Maharashtra, he studied engineering at the University of Washington before returning to India to lead revolutionary efforts. Pingle collaborated with leaders like Rash Behari Bose and Sachin Sanyal in organizing the Ghadr mutiny of 1915, which aimed to trigger a nationwide armed uprising against British rule. Arrested in Meerut with explosives, he was executed at Lahore Central Jail alongside Kartar Singh Sarabha. Despite his sacrifice at a young age, Pingle remains a largely unsung hero.
