Saayoni Ghosh (born 27 January 1993) is an Indian Bengali film and television actress currently serving as a Member of Parliament representing Jadavpur parliamentary constituency. She is also a singer[1] and a politician. Her acting debut was with a telefilm Ichhe Dana,[2] and her first appearance on the big screen was with a short role in the film Notobor Notout. She then shared the screen with some veteran actors in Raj Chakraborty's Shotru, and later played a carefree journalist role in Raj Chakraborty's daily serial Proloy Asche.[3] She has played lead roles in the films Kanamachi, Antaraal, Ekla Cholo, Amar sahor, Bitnoon, Mayer Biye, Rajkahini.[1] She came into limelight in politics in January 2021 after an FIR was lodged against her by Tathagata Roy for hurting Hindu sentiments.[4] She joined All India Trinamool Congress on 24 February 2021.

In March 2021, she was announced to be All India Trinamool Congress’s candidate for the Asansol South constituency in the 2021 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election. But, she was defeated by BJP's candidate Agnimitra Paul.[5]

She was appointed the "president of the youth wing of Trinamool Congress" in June-2021, after Abhishek Banerjee has been relieved of the duty.[6] Enforcement Directorate had questioned her on 30 June 2023 for 11 hours, in connection with its investigation into the 2022 West Bengal School Service Commission recruitment scam.[7] In 2024 Indian general election, she contested and won from Jadavpur Lok Sabha constituency as a Trinamool candidate, with a margin of more than 2.5 lakhs votes.[8]
