Nabarun is a Bengali masculine given name, most common in West Bengal and Bangladesh, written in Bangla script as নবরুণ.

Used primarily among Bengali speakers in India and Bangladesh, the compound entered wider use in the 20th century, paralleling a trend toward meaningful Sanskritic coinages in modern Bengali. The name is familiar through figures such as the radical Bengali novelist Nabarun Bhattacharya (1948–2014).

While Arun/Aruna exist as separate names, Nabarun specifically stresses auspicious new beginnings under the sun.
