Dwijendranath Maitra (also spelt Dijendra Nath Moitra or shortened as Dwijen Maitra or Dwijen Moitra) (Bengali: দ্বিজেন্দ্রনাথ মৈত্র) (9 September 1878 – 26 November 1950) was son of Lokenath Maitra, who hailed from Rajshahi, now in Bangladesh. Lokenath Maitra had married Jagattarini in an inter-caste widow remarriage, a daring task in those days. Without mentioning his name, W. B. Yeats starts the introduction to the Gitanjali as follows: He travelled to the US with Rabindranath Tagore. His son, Satyen Maitra, is a well-known educationist and social worker.
