Prem Nath Dogra (24 October 1884 – 21 March 1972) was a politician from Jammu and Kashmir who worked against the autonomous status granted to the state in Article 370 of the Indian constitution. In 1947, he was instrumental in forming the Jammu Praja Parishad party along with Balraj Madhok, which served as a local political arm of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a right-wing Hindutva paramilitary organisation. Dogra was later elected as the president of Bharatiya Jana Sangh in 1955 for a brief period.
