Nitesh Narayan Rane (Marathi: नितेश नारायण राणे) is an Indian Politician, youth leader and a member of Maharashtra Legislative Assembly for the Kankavli vidhansabha constituency. he is the head of the non-governmental organization "Swabhiman Sanghatana". He is the younger son of former chief minister and senior Congress politician Narayan Rane.

Nitesh Rane was born in Mumbai to Neelam Rane and Narayan Rane, a senior Congress leader from Maharashtra on 23 June 1982. He is an MBA professional and studied in the United Kingdom along with his elder brother Nilesh. He returned to India to join politics and help his father when his father decided to quit Shiv Sena in 2005 and join Congress.

Rane started his career by founding Swabhiman Sanghatana which raises social issues in areas of youth unemployment, health services, basic amenities throughout Maharashtra, and mainly in Mumbai. He was also the general secretary of Youth Congress, Mumbai but resigned from his post in December 2008 because of the conflict between him and other local Congress leaders. At the onset of summer of 2010, the organization launched a toll free helpline where citizens could register their complaints against the private water supply tankers. Rane stated that the private tankers charged exorbitant prices ranging from anything between 6 and 25 times the rate set by Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation. He blamed the Shiv Sena-BJP administered BMC for their failure to curb "water-mafia".

Swabhiman Sanghatana has organised several job fairs. In October 2011 at Kamgar Maidan, Mumbai, it set a Guinness World Record by conducting largest job fair which gave over 25,000 jobs to unemployed youth, including physically challenged.
