This is a list of writers on Hinduism. The list should include writers who have Wikipedia articles who have written books about Hinduism. Each entry should indicate the writers most well-known work. Multiple works should be listed only if each work has a Wikipedia article.

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.
