Anil Karanjai (27 June 1940 – 18 March 2001) was an accomplished Indian artist.
Born in East Bengal, he was educated in Benaras, where his family settled subsequent to the Partition of the Indian subcontinent in 1947. As a small child he had spent long hours playing with clay to make toys and arrows.
He also began very early to draw animals and plants, or whatever inspired him. In 1956 he dropped out of school to become a full-time student at Bharatiya Kala Kendra, headed by Karnaman Singh, a master of the Bengal school and a Nepali by origin.
This teacher encouraged Anil to experiment widely and to study the art of every culture.
Anil remained here until 1960, exhibiting regularly and teaching other students.
During the same period, he practised miniature painting at Bharat Kala Bhavan (Benaras Hindu University) under the eye of the last court painter to the Maharaja of Benaras.
He also enrolled at Benaras Polytechnic to learn clay modelling and metal casting.
