Darpanarayan Tagore (1731–1793) was a member of the Tagore family, who branched to Pathuriaghata. He worked as dewan to the French East India Company at Chandannagar before moving to Calcutta.[1] He later became a merchant to Edward Wheeler, who succeeded Colonel Monson as member of the Supreme Council of Bengal headed by Warren Hastings.[2][3] He later purchased a large zamindari estate in his name at Rajshahi and established himself as one of the leading zamindars in Bengal. He was succeeded by his son Gopi Mohan Tagore.[4][5]
