Arnab Kumar Mondal (born 25 September 1989) is an Indian professional footballer who plays as a centre back for Atlético de Kolkata in the Indian Super League on loan from I-League club East Bengal.
Born in Behala, a neighborhood based in Kolkata, West Bengal, Mondal joined the youth team of Mohammedan at the age of 17. In 2010, he signed for Prayag United of the I-League and played for the club for two seasons. For the 2011–12 season, Mondal created a partnership in the center of defense Bello Razaq and was also taken under the wing of India international Deepak Mondal.
During the summer of 2012, Mondal left Prayag United and joined Kolkata rivals East Bengal. He was quick to become a part of the clubs history as he was a goalscorer during the clubs 2012 Federation Cup Final match against Dempo. Mondal scored the equalizing goal for East Bengal in the 60th minute that lead to East Bengal winning 3–2 and the Federation Cup. Mondal soon became a mainstay for East Bengal in their backline, partnering with Uga Okpara, as East Bengal held the best defense in the I-League halfway through the campaign. However, due to an injury picked up with the national team, Mondal missed the majority of the second half of the season as East Bengal failed to win the title. Mondal came back from injury to return to East Bengal's starting line-up for the 2013–14 season. He was considered one of the club's finest players that season as he started in 18 of the club's matches that league campaign.
