The Sahitya Akademi is an Indian organisation dedicated to the promotion of literature in the languages of India. Founded on March 12, 1954, it is supported by, though independent of, the Indian government.

The Sahitya Akademi organises national and regional workshops and seminars; provides research and travel grants to authors; publishes books and journals, including the Encyclopaedia of Indian Literature; and presents the annual Sahitya Akademi Award of Rs. 50,000 (approx. USD 1,100) in each of the 22 languages it supports. The Sahitya Akademi Library is one of the most important multi-lingual libraries in India with a rich collection of books on literature and allied subjects. It also publishes two bimonthly literary journals -- Indian Literature in English and Samkaleen Bharatiya Sahitya in Hindi.
