Chand Sadagar or Chandradhar was a sea merchant of Champaknagar.

Chand Sadagar or Chandradhar was a sea merchant of Champaknagar. This merchant has been claimed by both the Assamese and the Bengalis. Medieval Bengali poet Bipradas Pipilai mentioned in his "Manasamangal Kāvya" that merchant ship of Chand Sadagar used to proceed to the sea from ancient Champaknagar after passing through Tribeni, situated at the junction of Saptagram and the confluence of Ganges, Saraswati and Jamuna River of modern-day West Bengal. Narayan Dev in the scriptures gave an account in his Manasamangal about the merchant ship of the trader Chand Saudagar proceeding to the sea from ancient Champaknagar passing through Saptagram and Tribeni, the tri-junction of the Ganges, Saraswati and Jamuna River. In the Padma Puran, account of Chand Bania (Sadagar) is specifically mentioned.
