Jatindra Mohan Sengupta (22 February 1885 – 23 July 1933)[1] was an Indian revolutionary against the British rule. He was arrested several times by the British police. In 1933, he died in a prison located in Ranchi, India.

Sengupta studied at Hare School, Calcutta and Presidency College, Calcutta.[2] After that he travelled to England, where he studied law at Downing College, Cambridge.[3] During his stay there, he met and married Edith Ellen Gray, later known as Nellie Sengupta. He was elected president of the Cambridge Majlis in 1908.[2] After returning to India, he started a legal practice. He also joined in Indian politics, becoming a member of the Indian National Congress and participating in the Non-Cooperation Movement. Eventually, he gave up his legal practice in favour of his political commitment.
