Suraj Prakash (lit. "The Light of the Sun"), also called Gur Partap Suraj Granth, is a popular and monumental hagiographic text about Sikh Gurus written by Kavi Santokh Singh (1787–1843) and published in 1843. It consists of life legends performed by Sikh Gurus and historic Sikhs such as Baba Banda Bahadur in 51,820 verses. According to Pashaura Singh – a scholar of Sikhism, the text freely borrows from prior mythical stories in Janamsakshis and older Sikh literature such as Bansavalinama, Sikhan di Bhagat Mala, and Mahima Prakash, then embellishes it further.

The Suraj Prakash is written in Braj Bhasha language in Gurmukhi script, with significant use of Sanskrit words. It is organized into "seasons" and "rays".It includes Vedantic doctrines of Udasi Sikhs and Nirmala Sikhs.

Suraj Parkash is a popular text in the Sikh community, profusely poetic, and it is sometimes recited in a katha form.

The text is a sequel to Santokh Singh's Guru Nanak Prakash, describing the life of the first Guru in 9,700 verses.The lives of the Gurus, are divided into twelve Raas or sections. The life of the tenth Guru is presented in six Ruts (literally six seasons), and into two Ayans, the ascending and descending phases of the year.Suraj Parkash was first edited by Bhai Vir Singh over 1926-1935 in 14 volumes, with Punjabi footnotes
