Krishnananda Dutta,[1] born as Krishnananda Dutta Chowdhury [2] (c. 1490-1570) in a Dutta Chowdhury family in Andul of the present-day Howrah district of West Bengal, India, was the 4th Chowdhury revenue collector (zamindar) there. He regularly organised kirtans at his kirtanana-mandapa located near by his home.[3]

The worshipped deity of Krishnananda.[4]

In ca.1514 CE Krishnananda was initiated to krsna-nama-mantra by Nityananda Prabhu in Andul. A few years later he took sanyas and went to Puri, carrying his deities— Radha-Madhava there.[5] At the request of the king of Aul he then moved to Chhoti village[6] in Kendrapara district in Odisha.

He was an ancestor of Kedar Nath Dutta (Srila Bhakti Vinoda Thakura) and Bimala Prasad Dutta (Shrila Bhakti Shiddhanta Saraswati Thakura). The deities which Krishnananda carried to Puri from Andul are now known as the 'Ancestral deities of Bhakti Vinod Thakur'.[7]
