Śrīsītārāmasuprabhātam (Sanskrit: श्रीसीतारामसुप्रभातम्) (2009), literally The beautiful dawn of Sītā and Rāma, is a Saṃskṛta minor poem (Khaṇḍakāvya) of the Suprabhātakāvya (dawn-poem) genre composed by Jagadguru Rambhadracharya in the year 2008. The poem consists of 43 verses in five different metres.
A copy of the poem, with a Hindi commentary by the poet himself, was published by the Jagadguru Rambhadracharya Vikalang Vishvavidyalaya, Chitrakuta, Uttar Pradesh. The book was released in Chitrakuta on the Makara Saṅkrānti day of January 14, 2009. The day was the fifty-ninth birthday of Jagadguru Rāmabhadrācārya. An audio CD of the composition sung by the poet himself in the Bairagi Rāga was released by Yuki Cassettes, New Delhi.
The work was composed by Rāmabhadrācārya in the Āshvin Navarātra (September 30 to October 8) of 2008 when he was in Tirupati for a Kathā programme. In the prologue of the work, Rāmabhadrācārya says that the genre of Suprabhātakāvya began with a single verse (1.23.1) of Bālakāṇḍa in Vālmīki's Rāmāyaṇa.
