Sri Ram Mehrotra (23 June 1931 – 17 July 2019) was an Indian professor of history who published on the history of the Indian independence movement, the Indian National Congress, the life and work of its founder Allan Octavian Hume, and on the writings and philosophy of Gandhi. He also wrote a biography of Pranjivan Mehta, an important but little-known influence in the Indian independence movement who supported Gandhi. Mehrotra was known for his meticulous detail to sources and care in interpretations and published several annotated collections of sources and letters relating to Hume and towards the end of his life, Dadabhai Naoroji.
