The Nawanagar cricket team was an Indian domestic cricket team active in first-class cricket from 1936 until 1947, operating in the West Zone of the Ranji Trophy for twelve seasons. It was based in Jamnagar, Gujarat, then part of the Nawanagar State.[1][2]

Nawanagar won its only Ranji Trophy in 1936–37 when it defeated Bengal in the final.[3][4] It was succeeded by Saurashtra, which began competing in the Ranji Trophy in 1950–51.
