Karsandas Mulji (25 July 1832 – 28 August 1871) was an Indian journalist, social reformer, administrator and statesman. He is also regarded as one of the founding members of the Indian National Congress who laid a base for the foundation of the Congress party.

He was an alumnus of Elphinstone college and an English-educated Gujarati journalist with an acute dislike for institutional religion.
