Daphalapur State, also spelled Dafalapur, was a Hindu petty princely state of British India. It was a former Maratha territory, one of the former Southern Maratha Jagirs[1] (feudal estates).

Daphlapur State and neighbouring Jath State were the only two states belonging to the Bijapur Agency under the Bombay Presidency,[2] which later would become part of the colonial Deccan States Agency.

The state had six villages with an area of only 249 square kilometres (96 sq mi) and a population of 6,006 inhabitants in 1881.[2]
