This '''List of Bengali poets''' includes poets who write in [[Bengali language]] who produce [[Bengali poetry]]. This list classifies poets into three groups based on geographical location. These are poets from [[Bangladesh]], poets from [[West Bengal]] of [[India]] and poets from other parts of the world including Bengali [[Diaspora]] and non-Bengali people writing poetry in Bengali. However, the list starts with early Bengali poets to be followed by those who are identified not only with [[Indian sub-continent]] before partition in 1947, but also as founders of Bengali poetry. The list also contains separate sub-lists of "rhyme composers" and "song writers". Finally, there are two sub-sets of ''woman poets'' and ''poets in exile''.<br />
<br />
==Early poets==<br />
<br />
=== Siddhacharyas ===<br />
The poets of the ''[[Charyapada]]'', known as the Siddhacharyas, lived in eastern India and Nepal. The surviving 50 manuscripts contains the name of 24 Siddhacharyas including Lui Pa, Kukkuri Pa, Birua Pa, Gundari Pa, Chatil Pa, Bhusuku Pa, Kanha Pa, Kambalambar Pa, Dombi Pa, Shanti Pa, Mahitta Pa, Bina Pa, Saraha Pa, Shabar Pa, Aryadeb Pa, Dhendhan Pa, Darik Pa, Bhade Pa, Tadak Pa, Kankan Pa, Ja’anandi Pa, Dham Pa, Tanti Pa and Loridombi Pa. Most of these names were pseudonyms as the poets rejected Vedic Hinduism and profess Sahajayana Buddhism. Lui Pa is considered as the earliest poet of Charjapadas. Kanha Pa's 11 poems survived which is the largest number among these poets.<br />
