Maharaja Badan Singh (reigned 18 November 1722 – 21 May 1755) was the formal founder and first Maharaja of the Bharatpur state from 1722 to 1755. He was a nephew of Churaman Singh. After Churaman's death on 20 September 1721 there were family disputes between Badan Singh and Churaman's son Muhkam Singh. Badan Singh aligned with Jai Singh II of Jaipur to avoid the wrath of Muhkam Singh. In this family feud, Jai Singh supported Badan Singh.
