Kantojiu Temple (Bangla: কান্তজীউ মন্দির) is a Hindu temple in the late Middle Ages in Dinajpur, Bangladesh. Built by Maharaja Pran Nath, its construction began in 1702 and ended in 1752 CE CE during the reign of his son Maharaja Ramnath. It has one of the greatest examples of architectural terracotta in Bangladesh, and once took nine rounds, but all were destroyed by an earthquake in 1897
