Madan Mohan Tarkalankar (Bengali: ??? ???? ???????????) (3 January 1817 – 9 March 1858) was a Bengali poet and Sanskrit scholar.
He also developed Bengali text-books for children.
Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, Akshay Kumar Datta and Tarkalankar were the first "to envisage texts that would build the character of the new generation without sacrificing literary sensitivity.
Virtually, the entire mental make-up of the late nineteenth century Bengali society was structured through these text books." He, along with his friend Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, set up the Sanskrit Press and Depository, a print shop and a bookstore.
