Nandan is a government sponsored centre in Calcutta, India for facilitating film awareness and includes a few comparatively large screens housed in an impressively architectured building. It shares its site with the Rabindra Sadan cultural centre. The complex, besides being a modern cinema and cultural complex, is a popular hang-out for the young and the aged. Nandan was inaugurated by Satyajit Ray in 1985. He designed the logo for the complex as well. Nandan is the symbol of art and culture in the city which is termed as the Cultural Capital of India.

Nandan has two cinema halls, namely Nandan-1 and Nandan-2.
