Rajendra Lahiri (1892 - December 17, 1927) (also known as Rajendra Nath Lahiri, _bn. রাজেন্দ্র নাথ লাহিড়ী) was a Bengali revolutionary who participated in various revolutionary activities of the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association aimed at ousting the British from India.

He was born in village Mohanpur in District Pabna in erstwhile Bengal (now in Bangladesh). His father was Kshitish Mohan Lahiri.

He was arrested and tried, along with several other revolutionaries, in the year-long case. He was found guilty and hanged in the Gonda jail on December 17, 1927.
