'''Bhargavaram Viththal Varerkar''' (1883–1964) was  a [[Marathi language|Marathi]] writer from [[Maharashtra]], India.
Varerkar was born in 1883 in [[Chiplun]] in the [[Konkan]] region. He attended high schools in [[Malvan]], [[Dapoli]] and [[Ratnagiri]]. Before graduating he left his studies, worked for a while as a postal clerk, then migrated to [[Mumbai]].
Varerkar wrote the play ''Kunjawihari'' (कुंजविहारी) in 1907. He wrote other plays with historic, mythological and social themes; he wrote many novels, short stories and film scripts. His writings strongly reflected his empathy for laborers under the dominance of their employers and the plight of women under male dominance.
He translated into Marathi many novels of [[Bengali people|Bengali]] writer [[Sharat Chandra Chatterji]].
Varerkar presided over [[Marathi Sahitya Sammelan]] in [[Dhule]] in 1944. Later, he was nominated to Rajya Sabha, the upper house of Indian Parliament.
