The Kabuliwala is a Bengali short story written by Rabindranath Tagore in 1892. The story is of a merchant from Kabul, who comes to Calcutta (present day Kolkata), India each year for selling dry-fruits and while living in India he becomes friends with a five-year-old girl Mini from a middle-class aristocratic family.

The main theme of this story is filial love—the deep love that fathers have for their children.

It is counted amongst the all-time greatest children books of India. The story of Kabuliwala has been adapted many times for the television and movies screen in the past.
