Chand Sadagar was a rich and powerful sea merchant of Champaknagar in Eastern India.

Medieval Bengali poet Bipradas Pipilai mentioned in his "Manasamangal Kāvya" that merchant ship of Chand Sadagar used to proceed to the sea from ancient Champaknagar of Kamarupa after passing through Tribeni, situated at the junction of Saptagram and the confluence of Ganges, Saraswati and Jamuna River of modern-day West Bengal. Narayan Dev in the Assamese scriptures gave an account in his Manasamangal about the merchant ship of the trader Chand Saudagar proceeding to the sea from ancient Champaknagar of Assam passing through Saptagram and Tribeni, the tri-junction of the Ganges, Saraswati and Jamuna River. In the Padmapuran, account of Chand Bania (Sadagar) is specifically mentioned.
