Swami Ramdas (Hindi pronunciation: [sʋaːmiː raːmdaːs]), born Vittal Rao (10 April 1884 to 25 July 1963), was an Indian saint, philosopher, philanthropist and pilgrim.

Swami Ramdas became a wandering ascetic in his late 30s and, after attaining spiritual liberation or moksha while still alive, established Anandashram in Kanhangad, Kerala. He is the author of several books; the spiritual autobiography In Quest of God (1925) is his best known work.
