Munshi Mohammad Meherullah (1861 – 7 May 1907) was a Bengali Islamic scholar, poet and social reformer. He is best known for his oratory and writing on Islam and comparative religion and his efforts has been compared to Raja Ram Mohan Roy's defense of Hinduism against anti-Hindu views expounded by Christian missionaries in India. In 1891, writer Mirza Muhammad Yusuf Ali referred to Munshi Meherullah as Bangabandhu (Friend of Bengal) in the introduction to his book 'Dughd-Sarobar'.
