Bengali Portuguese Creole (Portuguese: Crioulo português bengali) was an Indo-Portuguese creole spoken in various cities in Bengal: Calcutta, Balasore, "Pipli," Chandernagore, Chittagong, Midnapore, Hugli and Dacca. The language was formed from contact between the Portuguese and Bengali languages. It is now extinct.

In Bengal, Portuguese was spoken until 1811. A Portuguese creole was still spoken in the early 20th century. Portuguese creoles were spoken in Bengal, such as at Calcutta, Dacca, Balasore, Pipli, Chandannagar, Chittagong, Firingi Bunder, Midnapore and Hugli-Chuchura.
