Satyen Bose (22 January 1916 – 9 June 1993) was a film director from India. He has directed both Bengali and Hindi language films. Among his most notable films are Raat Aur Din, Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi, Dosti, and Jagriti. Jagriti won the Filmfare Best Movie Award in 1956 and Dosti won the same award in 1964.

Without any formal training in cinema, Bose rose to fame with his offbeat debut film Parivartan (1949). He remade the Bengali film in Hindi as Jagriti in 1954.[1]
