Ibrahim Sutar (10 May 1940 – 5 February 2022) was an Indian social worker and poet known for folk-music performances across Karnataka and neighboring states which spread the message of Hindu–Muslim communal unity.

Sutar received the Padma Shri, India's fourth highest civilian honor, in 2018 and the Karnataka government's Rajyotsava award in 1995. For his contributions, he was called Kannada Kabir or Karnataka's Kabir (ಕನ್ನಡ ಕಬೀರ or ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಕಬೀರ).[2]
