Bhargavaram Viththal Varerkar (1883–1964), also known as Mama Warerkar,[1] was a Marathi writer from Bombay Presidency, India.

Varerkar was born in 1883 in Chiplun in the Konkan region. He attended high schools in Malvan, Dapoli and Ratnagiri. Before graduating he left his studies, worked for a while as a postal clerk, then migrated to Mumbai.

Varerkar wrote the play Kunjawihari (कुंजविहारी) in 1907. He wrote other plays with historic, mythological and social themes; he wrote many novels, short stories and film scripts. His writings strongly reflected his empathy for laborers under the dominance of their employers and the plight of women under male dominance.

He translated into Marathi many novels of Bengali writer Sharat Chandra Chatterji.

Varerkar presided over Marathi Sahitya SammelaninDhule in 1944. Later, he was nominated to Rajya Sabha, the upper house of Indian Parliament.
