Prabhudayal Vidyarthi (1925 –1977) was an Indian freedom fighter, Gandhian social worker, politician and writer. Seeking Freedom at age 8, he joined Congress in 1932 at Allahabad.

At age 10, in 1935, he heard Thakkar Bapa's public address, speaking of Mahatma Gandhi's Quest for "FREE INDIA". He intuitively followed him from Siddharthnagar, Uttar Pradesh to Sevagram in search of Azaadi, Freedom from British Rule. Gandhi was perplexed to see such a young boy wanting to participate in “Freedom Struggle” and took him under his personal tutelage. He became a close aide of Gandhi. He is listed as the youngest member of Sevagram.
