Bhogendra Jha (1923 – 20 January 2009) was an Indian politician belonging to the Communist party of India. He was elected to the Lok Sabha the lower house of Indian parliament from Madhubani, Bihar .
Bhogendra Jha joined the Communist Party of India in 1940 and steadfastly fought for land reforms standing by the side of the marginalised and deprived sections in the realm of agriculture. A former President of the All India Kisan Sabha, he was an excellent speaker and a lucid writer whose intellectual contributions in the fields of philosophy and literature cannot be overestimated. He was one of the undisputed leaders of the Bihar CPI which at one time was a citadel of the party in the Hindi heartland and even now happens to be an important base of the CPI.
