Shrimad Rajchandra (1867–1901) was an Indian Jain philosopher and poet whose teachings emphasized truth and nonviolence.

He became a close spiritual mentor to Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, guiding him in ethical and spiritual matters. Shrimad's works, including "Aptavani", remain influential in Jain thought and practice.
