Saraikela State also spelt Seraikela, Saraikella or Seraikella (Odia: ଷଢେ଼ଇକଳା), was a small princely state in India during the British Raj, in the region that is now the Jharkhand state.^[2] Its capital was at Saraikela.

The state had an area of 1163 km² which yielded an average revenue of Rs.92,000 in 1901, and was one of the nine Chota Nagpur States under the authority of the governor of Bengal Presidency.^[3] The last ruler of the state, Raja Aditya Pratap Singh Deo, signed the merger agreement acceding to the Indian Union on 18 May 1948.
