Champaklal Narotamdas Mehta (1907 13 December 1981) was an Indian cricketer who played for Bombay, Gujarat and Hindus in 1930s.[1]

Mehta was born in Surat and studied in the St. Xavier's College, Mumbai.[2] He made his debut in the Bombay Quadrangular in 1929 but the tournament was suspended for the next four seasons. In support of the non-cooperation movement, Vijay Merchant, L. P. Jai and Mehta refused to take part in the trials for the Indian tour to England in 1932.[2] He took part in the Test trials for the 1933-34 series.[2]

Mehta died of a heart attack in Bombay in 1981.[2]
