Chintamoni Kar (19 April 1915 – 3 October 2005) was a renowned British-Indian sculptor.
He received civilian awards from the Indian and French governments and won an Olympic silver medal on behalf of Great Britain.

He was taught to sculpt by Giridhari Mahapatra and Victor Giovanelli.

Chintamoni Kar was married to Amina Ahmed Kar, who was herself an artist, and her works were largely non-figurative and abstract.
