Narendra Nayak is a well known rationalist from Mangalore, Karnataka, India.

He is the founder of Dakshina Kannada Rationalist Association and has been its Secretary since 1976. He is also the national president of the Federation of Indian Rationalist Associations, an apex body of more than 65 atheist, rationalist and Humanist groups in India and a member of Folks Magazine's Editorial Board[1] since August 2011. As part of his campaign to expose the so-called miracles and to debunk superstitions, he has conducted about 2000 demonstrations all over India as well as in Australia, England, and Greece. He has been featured in many television programs including the one on physical feats by the Discovery Channel, Is It Real? by National Geographic, The Secret Swami by the BBC and many others.

As a close associate of the late Basava Premanand, Nayak has been in the forefront in the carrying forward the legacy of the eminent rationalist. Being a polyglot is an advantage in his campaigns all over India, often in the far flung districts and mostly with young school children.
