Ramkrishna Vitthal Lad (1822–1874), commonly known as Bhau Daji, was an Indian physician, Sanskrit scholar, and an antiquarian. He served as the Sheriff of Bombay for two terms from 1869 to 1871. For his notable contribution in the making of modern Mumbai (then Bombay, British India), a road and a museum are named after him.
