Bipradas Pipilai (Bengali: বিপ্রদাস পিপিলাই), was a 15th century poet. The son of Mukunda Pipilai, the family hailed from Badurya-Batagram in 24 Parganas, now in the Indian state of West Bengal.[1]


He was one of the poets who contributed to the Manasmangal series of poems in praise of the serpent-goddess, Manasa. So far, two of his manuscripts have been discovered. From these his compositions are dated at around 1495. Bejoy Gupta of Barisal wrote his Manasmangal at around the same time.[1]

Bipradas is particularly well known for his vivid description of the journeys of the merchant Chand Sadagar, giving details of Saptagram and the lower reaches of the the Hooghly-Saraswati rivers.[1]
