Prabasi () was a monthly Bengali language literary magazine edited by Ramananda Chatterjee.

==History and profile== Prabasi was founded by Ramananda Chatterjee in 1901 and it ran for over 60 years. The magazine published many important Bengali authors, the most significant being Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore who published regularly in it from 1914 until his death. "It is no exaggeration to say that [Tagore's] major creations reached Bengali homes through [Prabasi]." There were over 350 contributors during its existence, including most of the major poet and prose writers of the day. The National Encyclopedia of Bangladesh said "Prabasi's fame remains almost unsurpassed by any other Bengali periodical." From 1901 to 1905 it was published in Allahabad. Then it was headquartered in Kolkata.
