Mahasha Rattan Chand (died 1964), popularly known as Ratto, was an Indian broker, principal of the Shining Club, and anti-Rowlatt Bill campaigner.[1][2][3][4]

In his testimony about the events on 10 April 1919 in Amritsar, he said "There at the bridge the object of the people was not to use any force or violence. Its object was to make a request to Deputy Commissioner to try for the release of Kitchlew and Satyapal, and the show was made to make impression on Deputy Commissioner."[5]

His portrait appears in Jallianwalla Bagh's Martyr Gallery.[6]
