Badan Singh (Reign: 1722–21 May 1755) was the formal founder of the princely state of Bharatpur. He was the nephew of Rao Churaman Singh. After Churaman's death on 20 September 1721 there were family disputes between Badan Singh and Muhkam, son of Churaman. Badan Singh aligned with Jai Singh II of Jaipur to avoid the anger of Muhkam Singh. In this family feud, Jai Singh supported Badan Singh.
