Satyen Sen (Bengali: সত্যেন সেন; 28 March 1907 - 5 January 1981) was a Bengali revolutionary, writer, and cultural activist who played a vital role in the Indian independence movement and later in post-independence progressive movements. A member of Jugantar revolutionary organisation and later the Communist movement, he spent years in prison and embraced Marxism–Leninism. Sen was a founder of the cultural organisation Bangladesh Udichi Shilpigoshthi and a key figure in the Progressive Writers' Movement. He contributed significantly to literature, workers' mobilisation, and the Bangladesh Liberation War. His work reflected a lifelong commitment to justice, equality, and the upliftment of ordinary people through culture and activism.
