'''Raghunatha Shiromani''' ({{langx|bn|রঘুনাথ শিরোমণি}}, [[IAST]]: Raghunātha Śiromaṇi) ({{circa|1477–1547}}<ref name="Vidyabhushan">{{cite book|last=Vidyabhusana|first=Satis Chandra|title=A History of Indian Logic: Ancient, Mediaeval, and Modern Schools|publisher=Motilal Banarsidass|location=Delhi|orig-year=1920|year=2006|page=463|isbn=81-208-0565-8|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0lG85RD9YZoC&q=Raghunatha+Shiromani&pg=PA463}}</ref>) was an Indian [[Indian philosophy|philosopher]] and [[Indian logic|logician]]. He was the head ( The Chancellor ) of the [[Ancient Mithila University]] also known as [[Ancient Mithila University|Mithila Vidyapeeth]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Sunday Tribune - Spectrum|url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/2006/20061119/spectrum/main2.htm|access-date=2022-02-06|website=www.tribuneindia.com}}</ref> He was born in a [[brahmin]] family at [[Nabadwip]] in present-day [[Nadia district]] of [[West Bengal]] state. He was the grandson of {{IAST|Śulapāṇi}} (c. 14th century CE), a noted writer on {{IAST|[[Smṛti]]}} from his mother's side. He was a pupil of [[Vasudeva Sarvabhauma|Vāsudeva Sārvabhauma]]. He brought the new school of [[Nyaya]], [[Navya-Nyāya|Navya Nyāya]], representing the final development of Indian [[formal logic]], to its zenith of analytic power.<br />
<br />
Raghunatha's analysis of relations revealed the true nature of number, inseparable from the abstraction of natural phenomena, and his studies of [[metaphysics]] dealt with the [[negation]] or [[nonexistence]] of a complex [[reality]]. His most famous work in logic was the [[Tattvachintamanididhiti|{{IAST |Tattvacintāmaṇidīdhiti}}]], a commentary on the ''[[Tattvacintāmaṇi]]'' of [[Gangesha|{{IAST |Gangeśa Upādhyāya}}]], founder of the ''{{IAST |Navya Nyāya}}'' school.<br />
