'''Kamal Kumari Barooah''' ([[Assamese language|Assamese]]: '''কমল কুমাৰী বৰুৱা''') (1899–1978) was the matriarch of the Khongiya Barooah family of Thengal, [[Assam]]. She was born to Mahendranath Mahanta and Swarnalata Mahanta at Borelengi Satra. In 1917, she married [[Siva Prasad Barooah]] of Khongiya Barooah family, the family that emerged as the champion of Assamese interests and repository of Assamese culture and traditions. Noted Indian entrepreneur, tea planter and philanthropist [[Hemendra Prasad Barooah]] was her son.<ref name="Online Assam">{{cite web | url=http://onlineassam.blogspot.ae/2013/08/dr-hemendra-prasad-barooah-life-works.html | title=Online Assam | publisher=Online Assam | date=2014 | accessdate=October 21, 2014}}</ref>

After her husband's death in 1938, she had to handle the huge Thengal household alone, starting from running their tea-gardens to retaining the family properties for her children. In order to run their businesses, she educated herself in English as well as in tea craft.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Deka|first1=Meeta|title=Women's Agency and Social Change: Assam and Beyond|date=2013|publisher=SAGE Publications India|isbn=9788132116547|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OZb-AAAAQBAJ&q=Kamal+Kumari+Barooah+hasband&pg=PA71|accessdate=30 October 2017|language=en}}</ref>
