Bapu Chandrasen Kamble (15 July 1919 – 6 November 2006) was an Indian politician, writer, editor, jurist, and social activist. He is also an Ambedkarite thinker, translator and biographer. Kamble was the leader of Republican Party of India (Kamble). He is from Maharashtra.[2] He has written a Marathi biography of B. R. Ambedkar called "Samagra Ambedkar Charitra" (Vol. 1–24).[3]

Kamble helped Ambedkar while drafting the Constitution of India. For nearly 50 years after Ambedkar's death, Kamble led the Republican Party of India but there was later a split in the party and he became the president of the Republican Party of India (Kamble) faction.[4][5]
