Dharampal () (19 February 1922&nbsp;– 24 October 2006) was an Indian historian, historiographer, and a Gandhian thinker. Dharampal primary works are based on documentation by the colonial government on Indian education, agriculture, technology, and arts during the period of colonial rule in India. He is most known for his works The Beautiful Tree: Indigenous Indian Education in the Eighteenth Century (1983), Indian Science and Technology in the Eighteenth Century (1971) and Civil Disobedience and Indian Tradition (1971), among other seminal works, which have led to a radical reappraisal of conventional views of the cultural, scientific and technological achievements of Indian society at the eve of the establishment of Company rule in India. Dharampal was instrumental in changing the understanding of pre-colonial Indian education system.

In 2001, he was named chairman of the National Commission on Cattle and Minister of State by the Government of India.
