The Kathiawar Agency, on the Kathiawar peninsula in the western part of the Indian subcontinent, was a political unit of some 200 small princely states under the suzerainty of the Bombay Presidency of British India.[1]

The agency's headquarters were at Rajkot,[2] the town where the Political Agent used to reside. He reported to the Political Department office at Bombay, Bombay Presidency.[3]
