Murari Lal Gupta[1][2] (Hindi: मुरारी शर्मा), (1 January 1901 – 2 April 1982) also known as Murari Sharma was an Indian revolutionary who took part in the Kakori Conspiracy and absconded away.[3] Police could not trace him out as Murari Sharma was his fake name.

His birth name was Murari Lal Gupta. While speaking as a Chief Guest this fact was disclosed by his son Damodar Swarup Gupta 'Vidrohi' - a revolutionary poet of Shahjahanpur district in the "Ram Prasad Bismil Jayanti Sangoshthi" organised by Hindi Academy Delhi on 19 June 1997 at Rajendra Bhawan New Delhi.

He was born on 1 January 1901 to Chhote Lal Gupta a khandsari[4] (en. sugar producing business man) of village Mudia Panwar in Shahjahanpur district of Uttar Pradesh. For some times he lived underground in Delhi[5] and later on returned to his native village. He died natural death on 2 April 1982 in his house of Shahjahanpur[6] at the age of 81.
