Acharya Prem Suri (1884-1968) was a revered Jain ascetic,scholar, philosopher and author of the Śvetāmbara sect. He was given the title of Siddhant Mahodadhi (Ocean of Principles) based on his advanced spirituality and knowledge of Jain scriptures. .

Suri was born in 1884 in the village of Nandia in the Sirohi district in Rajasthan. In 1901, at the age of 17, he was initiated as a Jain monk by Dan Vijay Suri.

He was a prolific writer, having written such philosophical works on Jainism as Sankram Karanam and Karmasiddhi. In 1966 he published Khavagasedhi and Thiaibandho, each containing more than twenty thousand verses.

He died on 22 May 1968 at Khambhat, Gujarat. After his death, his tradition was divided into two schools, led by Ramachandra Suri and Bhuvanbhanu Suri respectively.
