Puroshottam Choudhary (5 September 1803 – 24 August 1890) also spelled Purushottama Chaudhary or Purushothama Choudhari was a great 19th century Telugu Christian poet. He was a Christian preacher, evangelist, and pastor of the Berhampur Church, founded by Isaac Stubbins in 1838.
He was also a poet, pamphleteer, and one of the first Christian vaggeyakaras—contributing immensely to "Bhakti tradition" in Telugu Christianity and to Christology in India.
