Vishnu Surya Naik Wagh (24 July 1964 – 8 February 2019) was an Indian poet, writer, dramatist, journalist and politician. He was a former member of the Legislative Assembly in Goa from 2012 to 2017 as a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party. Owing to his fragile health, he had been on a break from his active career since 2016, until his death in 2019. His book, Sudhir Sukta, was a topic of much debate in 2017—2018 for its offensive language and content.
