Sudhangshu Seal (or Shudhangshu Shil; 27 March 1945 – 14 May 2026) was an Indian politician who was a member of the 14th Lok Sabha. He represented the Kolkata North West constituency of West Bengal and is a member of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)) political party.

Seal was a four time Councillor and Mayor-In-Council for Roads Department from Ward No. 20 of Kolkata Municipal Corporation from 1990 to 2005 and re-elected again in KMC Election 2010. In the K.M.C election 2010, he was chosen as the Left Front's mayoral candidate. After the Left Front lost the election to the Trinamool Congress, the CPI(M) leadership denied him the post of the Leader of the Opposition and former CPI(M) MLA and councillor Rupa Bagchi took office as the leader of the opposition.

Seal died at a private hospital in Kolkata, on 14 May 2026, at the age of 81.[1]
