Samskrita Bharati (Sanskrit: संस्कृतभारती, romanizedSaṃskṛtabhāratī, pronounced [sɐm̩skɻ̩tɐ bʱaːɾɐtiː]) is a non-profit organisation working to revive Sanskrit. Sanskrit was a pan-Indian language in the Vedic and classical period but lost its place to its derivative regional dialects in modern India. According to their own figures, repeated often in their promotional literature, by 2025, they trained over 10 million people to speak Sanskrit through 120,000 sambhashana shivir (conversation camps). Just about 25 years ago, in 1998, 2.9 million people had already attended the conversation camps. They have helped shape over 6000 'Sanskrit homes' where all members of the family speak in Sanskrit, and the mother tongue (native language) of the children is Sanskrit.

Samskrita Bharati, founded in 1981, has its headquarters in New Delhi, and has local offices at the various state capitals within India, district headquarters and grass root local level offices.
