Krishna Chandra Das, also known as K.C. Das (Bengali: কৃষ্ণচন্দ্র দাশ; 1869–1934), was a Bengali confectioner, entrepreneur, and businessman. He contributed to the modernization of traditional Bengali sweets.
Born in 1869, in Bagbazar, Kolkata, India, Das was the only son of the Bengali confectioner and inventor, Nobin Chandra Das. He was credited with creating rasmalai (रस मलाई) and initiating the concept of canned rasgulla (रसगुल्ला). The sweets were later popularized by his family company, K.C. Das Private Limited, founded by his son, Sarada Charan Das.
