Kadambari Devi (5 July 1859 – 21 April 1884) was the wife of Jyotirindranath Tagore and daughter-in-law of Debendranath Tagore. She was ten years younger than her husband, whom she married on 5 July 1868 (২৫শে আষাঢ়, ১২৭৫ বঙ্গাব্দ), at the age of nine. Her husband arranged for her to be educated.[1] She was nearly the same age as her brother-in-law Rabindranath Tagore, being only two years older than him.[2]
She inspired young Rabindranath in composing many of his poems with her creative feedback and comments. She was also a good friend and playmate. She was one of the women who played a very important part in his life. Her relationship with Tagore was controversial and had elements of tragedy.

For reasons that are not known, she committed suicide on 21 April 1884,[4] four months after Rabindranath Tagore married. The Tagore family always remained silent about her suicide. Rumours of family problems having led to her suicide have circulated. allegedly, she wrote a letter before her death revealing her husband's affair but again, there was no one to proof. After Kadambari Devi's death, Rabindranath was completely broken. For a long time after her death, he wrote many songs and poems in her memory.
