Mohit Kumar Munshi, also spelt Mohitkumar Munsi (Bengali: মোহিতকুমার মুন্সী), was a soldier of British Indian Army, aristocrat and author. He was one of the scions of the extended Munshi family of Kadirpara and Chougachi. He served as a non-commissioned officer, holding the rank of Havildar, in the 49th Bengali Regiment during the First World War. Munshi was one of the few aristocrats who belonged to a zamindar family, along with Khwaja Habibullah, the 5th Nawab of Dhaka, and Kumar Adhikram Mazumdar.
