Ambalal Sarabhai (23 February 1890 – 13 July 1967) was an Indian industrialist, philanthropist, institution builder, and supporter of Mahatma Gandhi. He was the chairman and promoter of Calico Mills and the founder of The Sarabhai Group of Companies. He also was a participant in Indian independence movement.

Ambalal was the great-grandson of Maganbhai Karamchand (1823-64), one of Ahemdabad's wealthiest Jain financiers. [1]

After Gandhi decided to admit an untouchable family in his Kochrab Ashram, Mangaldas Girdhardas decided to stop his funding to his ashram. At this time, Sarabhai decided to fund this Ashram and gave ₹13000 to Gandhi, which was two year's expenses.[2]
