Rajaram Jat (reign 1670–1688) was a chieftain of Sinsini, who led organised rebellion against Mughal emperor Aurangzeb after Gokula Jat execution. He is notable for desecrating the tomb of Mughal Emperor Akbar in 1688. He united the Jats, modernised their military capabilities, and employed guerrilla tactics to disrupt Mughal authority in the regions around Agra, Mathura, and the Yamuna river.

Rajaram successfully resisted Mughal forces, defeating Nawab Khan-i-Jahan Bahadur Zafar Jang Kokaltash in battle near Sinsini, which allowed to gain control over parganas such as Bhuma, Hodal, Kuthumbar, and Palwal. His leadership laid the foundation for the later establishment of the Kingdom of Bharatpur. After his death in 1688, his brother Churaman and his son continued their resistance against Mughal Empire.
