Sripada Kameswara Rao (1877–1943) was an actor, translator and speaker. He translated Marathi, Oriya, Tamil, French and Punjabi dramas to Telugu.[1][2] He published numerous reviews,[3] such as one on the play Kanyasulkam, that was published in 1933 in the Telugu literary journal Bharathi.[4]

Rao translated other scholars' writings, such as Dwijendra Lal Rai's and P. C. Vasu's contributions to dramatic and literary criticism, into Telugu prose. He was a scholar[5] who was well-versed in Eastern and Western culture.[6] His son Sripada Pinakapani was a medical doctor and an acclaimed Carnatic musician, who was awarded the Padma Bhushan by Government of India. Rao's great-granddaughter, Chinmayi Sripada, is one of India's finest playback singers.
