Subrata Guha {{errorTemplate:Main other|Audio file "Subroto Guha.ogg" not found}}Template:Category handler (31 January 1946 – 5 November 2003) was an Indian cricketer who played in four Test matches between 1967 and 1969.[1]

Guha was a medium-fast opening bowler. While he was a 20-year-old student at Calcutta University, he was largely responsible for inflicting the only defeat on the touring West Indians in 1966–67, when he took 4 for 64 and 7 for 49 for a combined Central and East Zones team.[2] He was less successful on the subsequent tour of England, although he played in one of the Tests. He also had little success in three Tests against Australia in 1969–70.[3] However, he continued to bowl successfully for Bengal in the Ranji Trophy, with 209 wickets at an average of 14.61, and best figures of 7 for 18 against Assam in 1972–73.[4][5]

Guha worked for the State Bank of India. He and his wife Neelum married in 1971 and had two sons. One of their sons, Kunal, married the actress Nethra Raghuraman.[6] Guha died suddenly of a heart attack in November 2003, aged 57.[6]
