Som Nath Sadhu (1935–1982) was an Indian theatre personality known for his contributions to Kashmiri theatre as an actor, playwright[1] and director.[2]

He was born in 1935 to the notable playwright, Prem Nath Pardase,[3] and started his career by joining Radio Kashmir in 1955.[2][4] There he had the opportunity to work with another Kashmiri playwright, Pushkar Bhan, with whom he co-wrote several plays for the radio.[3][5] Janaki, Lwakutboy (Younger Brother), Zi rang (Two Colours), Shama dan (Candlestick), Avihin (Vortex) and Shararat (Mischief) are among his notable works.[6] He also acted in two Kashmiri films, Shayar-e-Kashmir Mahjoor and Mainz Raat.[7]

The Government of India awarded him the fourth highest Indian civilian award of Padma Shri in 1974.[8] He died in 1982 at the age of 47.[2]
