Maharaja Anup Singh (IAST: Anūpa-siṃha, 1638–1698) was the Rathore Rajput ruler of the Kingdom of Bikaner during 1669–1698. Like his predecessors he was a vassal of the imperial Mughal Empire and participated in several Mughal campaigns in the Deccan region. He led the Mughal charge that resulted in the fall of the Golconda Sultanate for which Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb conferred the title of "Maharaja" upon him. He was a patron of scholars , poets , painters and musicians. He collected several manuscripts and established the Anup Sanskrit Library in his capital city of Bikaner.
