Somnath Bharadwaj (born 28 October 1964) is an Indian theoretical physicist who works on Theoretical Astrophysics and Cosmology.

Bharadwaj was born in India, studied at the Indian Institute of TechnologyinKharagpur, and later received his PhD from the Indian Institute of Science. After having worked at the Harish-Chandra Research Institute, he is now a professoratIIT Kharagpur. He has made significant contributions to the dynamics of large-scale structure^[1] formation.

In 2003, he was selected to be one of the professors from IIT whose class room lectures would be broadcast in the Eklavya Technology Channel.^{[2] [3] [4]}

Bharadwaj was an invited speakers on Galaxy Formation at the prestigious Indo-US Frontier of Science symposium which was organized by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences in 2005.^{[5] [6]}

He is currently in the editorial board of the Journal of Astrophysics & Astronomy published by the Indian Academy of Sciences.^[7]
