Baby Kondiba Kamble (c. 1929 – 21 April 2012), commonly known as Babytai Kamble, was an Indian Dalit activist, feminist, and writer. Born into the Mahar community, the largest Dalit community in Maharashtra, she was influenced by B. R. Ambedkar, a prominent national leader. Her autobiography Jina Amucha (Marathi: जिणं आमुचं, lit. 'Our Life') is regarded as the first autobiography by a Dalit woman in Marathi, and possibly the first in any Indian language.
