Shahaji II (formerly Vikramsinhrao [Nana Sahib] Pawar; 4 April 1910 – 9 May 1983) of the Bhonsle dynasty of the Marathas, was the Maharaja of Kolhapur between 1947 and 1949. He was the grandson of Rajarshi Shahu Maharaj of Kolhapur through his daughter Maharani Radhabai and hence nephew of Maharaj Rajaram III of Kolhapur.
He was educated at Daly College, Indore, where he was noted for his proficiency in both academics and sports, particularly tennis and cricket—interests he maintained throughout his life as a patron of Maratha athletic traditions.
