Bangiya Sahitya Parishat is a literary society in Maniktala of Kolkata, West Bengal, India. Established during the time of the British Raj, its goal is to promote Bengali literature, both by translating works in other languages to Bengali and promoting the production of original Bengali literature.

The organisation was founded by L. Leotard and Kshetrapal Chakraborty in 1893. Then it was known as The Bengal Academy of Literature.{{Cite web|date=2020-08-06|script-title=bn:সম্পাদক সমীপেষু: ঐতিহ্যের ইতিহাস|url=https://www.anandabazar.com/amp/editorial/letters-to-the-editor/the-128th-birthday-of-the-bengal-literary-council-passed-in-silence-due-to-covid-crisis-1.1186009|access-date=2020-09-26|website=anandabazar.com|language=bn}} On 29 April 1894, the name of the society itself was changed to Bangiya Sahitya Parishat.
