Debasis Chakroborty (born 9 June 1961) is an Indian classical slide guitar player from Senia-Maihar Gharana. Chakroborty was born in Calcutta, India, and began learning guitar from his father Sh. Madhusudan Chakroborty.

Later on, Debasis became a disciple of the guitarist Pundit Brij Bhushan Kabra. Debasis's style of playing combines both Gayaki and Tantrakari Angs. He follows the oldest tradition of playing sarode, sitar and veena with his modified Hawaiian guitar, which has a three-octave range. He is an "A" grade artiste of Prasar Bharati in both Hindustani Classical and light music, and performed in the National programme.
