Bharat Mohan Adhikari (Nepali: [[:ne:भरतमोहन अधिकारी|भरतमोहन अधिकारी]]) (4 May 1936 – 2 March 2019) was a Nepali politician and freedom fighter. He became the Minister of Finance of Nepal in the 1994-95 government of Prime Minister Man Mohan Adhikari.[1] He was the first communist Finance Minister who championed the "Afno Gaun Afai Banau" (; Develop our own village) campaign.

He also served as the deputy prime minister of Nepal in the Deuba cabinet (2004–05), which was later dissolved by King Gyanendra. Although a central figure of the CPN-UML, he was considered to have held more moderate views.
