Nandan Bezbarua is a former cricketer who played first-class cricket for Assam from 1967 to 1979.

A middle-order and opening batsman, Bezbarua played four matches for Assam from 1966-67 to 1970-71 with little success, then returned to the team in 1974-75. In his third match that season he opened the batting and top-scored in each innings, although he made only 11 and 8 not out, and Assam totalled only 35 and 33 and lost to Bengal by an innings and 282 runs. In the second innings he carried his bat.[1] He had his most successful season in 1977-78, scoring 121 runs at an average of 24.20,[2] including his highest score of 59 (equal top score) against Bihar.[3]

He captained Assam in his last season, 1979-80. He top-scored in the first innings of the first match with 29, and finished the season with 84 runs at 14.00 in Assam's three matches; Assam's highest scorer that season made 85 runs.[4] He later served as honorary secretary of the Assam Cricket Association.[5]
