Sree Namdev(Pronunciation:[naːmdeʋ]),also transliterated as Nam Dayv,Namdeo,Namadeva,(traditionally,c. 26 October 1270 to c. 3 July 1350) was a Marathi Hindu poet and Saint from Narsi,Hingoli,Maharashtra,India within the Varkari tradition of Hinduism.He lived as a devotee of Lord Vitthal(Lord Krishna) of Pandharpur.

Namdev was influenced by Vaishnavism and became widely known in India for his devotional songs set to music(Bhajan-Kirtans).His philosophy contains both nirguna and saguna Brahman elements,with monistic themes.Namdev's legacy is remembered in modern times in the Varkari tradition,along with those of other gurus,with masses of people walking together in biannual pilgrimages to Pandharpur in south Maharashtra.He is also recognised in the North Indian traditions of the Dadu Panthis,Kabir Panthis and Sikhs.
