The Nishanwalia Misl, also spelt as Nishananvali Misl, was a Sikh misl. The Misl was founded by Dasaundha Singh Shergill a leader of Tarna Dal. The misl was ruled by the Shergill Jats. The misl was based in Ambala, Shahbad, and parts of the present-day Ludhiana district. The Nishanwalia Misl was more akin to a religious order rather than resembling a clan-based dynasty like most of the other misls of the Sikh Confederacy.
