Charu Majumdar(Bangla: চারু মজুমদার) (1918–1972) was an Indian Maoist revolutionary born in 1918 in Siliguri, West Bengal. His father was a freedom fighter. He dropped out of college in 1938. In 1946, Charu joined the Tebhaga movement. He was imprisoned in 1962 and on July 16, 1972.
During the mid 1960s Majumdar and Kanu Sanyal organized a leftist faction in CPI(M) in northern Bengal. In 1967, a militant peasant uprising took place in Naxalbari, led by the Majumdar-Sanyal group. This group would later become known as the Naxalites. The same year, Majumdar and Sanyal broke away and formed the All India Coordination Committee of Communist Revolutionaries. AICCCR founded the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) in 1969, with Majumdar as its secretary.
Majumdar died in police custody at the Alipore Central Jail on July 28 1972.
