Promode Ranjan Chaudhury (1904 – September 28, 1927) was a Bengali revolutionary who fought against British rule in India.
He was born in the village Kelishahar in Chittagong, Bengal (now in Bangladesh). He was the son of Sri Ishan Chandra Chaudhuri. In 1920, while he was studying in school, he joined the Anushilan Samiti, a revolutionary organisation, and later in 1921, he took part in the non-cooperation movement.
In 1925, Chaudhury was arrested as a suspect in the Dakhsineshwar Bomb case, and sentenced to rigorous imprisonment. While he was jailed in the Alipore Jail, on May 28, 1927, he killed Bhupendra Nath Chatterjee, the deputy commissioner of Police. For this, he was hanged on September 28, 1927.
