'''Bangiya Sahitya Parishad''' is a [[literary society]] in [[Maniktala]] of [[Kolkata]], [[West Bengal]], India. Established during the time of the [[British Raj]], its goal is to promote [[Bengali language|Bengali]] literature, both by translating works in other languages to Bengali and promoting the production of original Bengali literature.
The organisation was founded by L. Leotard and Kshetrapal Chakraborty in 1893.
