Chand Sadagar চান্দ সদাগৰ চাঁদ সদাগর
Born	Chandradhar 200–300 AD Champaknagar, Eastern India
Occupation	Ancient merchant

Chand Sadagar (Assamese: চান্দ সদাগৰ, Bengali: চাঁদ সদাগর) was an Indian sea merchant of Champaknagar in Eastern India. This merchant has been claimed by both the Assamese and Bengali people of India to be associated with their respective states and communities. Medieval Bengali poet Bipradas Pipilai mentioned in his "Manasamangal Kāvya" (or "Manasa Vijay") that merchant ship of Chand Sadagar used to proceed to the sea from ancient Champaknagar after passing through Tribeni, situated at the junction of Saptagram and the confluence of Ganges, Saraswati and Jamuna River of modern-day West Bengal.^[1] Narayan Dev in the scriptures gave an account in his Manasamangal about the merchant ship of the trader Chand Saudagar proceeding to the sea from ancient Champaknagar passing through Saptagram and Tribeni, the tri-junction of the Ganges, Saraswati and Jamuna River.^{[citation needed]} In the Padma Puran (Hindu Scripture), account of Chand Bania (Sadagar) is specifically mentioned.
