Bokmässan i Calcutta (engelska: The International Kolkata Book Fair) är en sedan 1976 årligen hållen bokmässa i Calcutta (officiellt Kolkata). Den riktar sig främst till den bokläsande allmänheten, och är med sina två miljoner besökare troligen den mest välbesökta bokmässan i världen. Bokmässan brukar hållas under tolv dagar runt månadsskiftet januari/februari och sammanfaller då med Saraswati Puja, en festival tillägnad Sarasvati, talets, konstens och undervisningens gudinna.

The International Kolkata Book Fair (formerly Calcutta Book Fair) is a winter fair in Kolkata. It is a unique book fair in the sense of not being a trade fair—the book fair is primarily for the general public rather than whole-sale distributors. It is the world's largest non-trade book fair, Asia's largest book fair and the most attended book fair. It is the world's third-largest annual conglomeration of books after the Frankfurt Book Fair and the London Book Fair. Many Kolkatans consider the book fair an inherent part of Kolkata, and instances of people visiting the fair every day during its duration are not uncommon. The fair offers a typical fairground experience with a book flavour—with picnickers, singer-songwriters, and candy floss vendors. With a total footfall of over 2 million peo rdf:langString
