Amritlal Vithaldas Thakkar (29 November 1869 – 20 January 1951), also known as Thakkar Bapa, was an Indian social worker who worked for the upliftment of tribal people in Gujarat, India. In 1905, he joined the Servants of India Society, which was founded by Gopal Krishna Gokhale.

(2) On his initiative, the Bharatiya Adimjati Sevak Sangh was founded on October 24, 1948.
