Pandit Suresh Haldankar (18 December 1926 - 17 January 2000) was an Indian classical singer, actor and teacher. His rise in the 1950s musical world of Bombay was dramatic but he failed to deliver on his promise and soon faded away from the mehfil platform. He spent the rest of his life as a teacher in a chawl in Bombay (now Mumbai). The music lovers in the Maharashtrian community still remembers him for the many immensely popular Natyageete records he cut.{{cite news |title=Musical tribute |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/36382545.cms |work=The Times of India |date=2003-02-03 |accessdate=2008-02-25 }}
