Budhaditya Mukherjee (b. 1955) is a Hindustani classical sitar and surbahar player of the Imdadkhani (Etawah) gharana (school).

He was taught by his father Bimalendu Mukherjee from the age of five, and started making a name for himself at a young age. In 1970, he won two national-level music competitions, and soon after was famously endorsed in glowing terms first by film maker Satyajit Ray and then South Indian veena player Balachander, who proclaimed him "sitar artist of the century". In 1975, Budhaditya became a grade A artist with All India Radio (he was promoted to top grade in 1986). Since then, he has become an established sitarist, known for virtuosity, speed, and precision.

Mukherjee has toured the world extensively, giving concerts in over twenty-five countries, and from 1983 and 1995, respectively, taught from time to time at the Istituto Interculturale di Studi Musicali Comparati in Venice and the Rotterdam Conservatory. He has also recorded widely, and at the age of forty-seven, his discography included exactly forty-seven CDs, LPs, and cassettes. In 1995, he started recording on the surbahar (bass sitar).

His son, Bijoyaditya, was born in 1984, and started training with Bimalendu and Budhaditya at the age of five.

Budhaditya Mukherjee also holds a degree in metallurgical engineering.
