Avijit 'Munna' Mitra (born 6 July 1953) is an India-born English clergyman, educator and former first-class cricketer.

Mitra was born in West Bengal at Bhowanipore in July 1953. Moving to England as a child, he was educated in Birmingham at King Edward's School,[1] before going up to Keble College, Oxford.[2] While studying at Oxford, he played first-class cricket for Oxford University in 1974 and 1975, making six appearances.[3] He scored 157 runs in his six matches, at an average of 13.08 and a high score of 30.[4]

After graduating from Oxford, Mitra became a schoolmaster at King Edward's School, Birmingham. He left in July 1981 to teach at Highgate School.[5] Mitra also took holy orders in the Church of England, featuring regularly in the Church Times Cricket Cup.[6] From 1988 to 1996, he taught classics at Abingdon School, where he was also a housemaster and a cricket coach, before moving to the Bluecoat School.[7] He was head of boarding at King's School, Rochester before becoming associate priest at Hempstead. Mitra still teaches part-time at Rochester Grammar School for Girls, in addition to being a priest-vicar at Rochester Cathedral.[1]
