Dasarathi Krishnamacharya (22 July 1925 – 5 November 1987), popularly known as Dasarathi, was an Indian Telugu poet and writer. He held the titles Abhyudhaya Kavi and Kalaprapurna. He was awarded the Sahitya Akademi Award for his poetic work Timiramto Samaram () in 1974. Dasarathi also served as the Aasthana Kavi () of the Government of Andhra Pradesh.

== Early life == Dasarathi was born on 22 July 1925 in a middle-class Vaishnava Brahmin family. His native village, Chinnaguduru, is in the Maripeda Mandal of Mahabubabad district. He was an orthodox, yet discreet, Vaishnava devotee and an erudite scholar of Indian Puranas, with proficiency in Telugu, Sanskrit, and Tamil. Dasarathi completed his matriculation at the Khammam Government High School but left higher education to participate in the movement against the autocratic Nizam rule in the Hyderabad Kingdom.
