The Talpur dynasty (Baluchi:‏تالپور بادشاہت ) is a Baloch dynasty[3][4][5][6][7][8] that ruled the Sindh (in present-day Pakistan) after overthrowing of Kalhora dynasty in 1783 until British conquest of Sindh in 1843. A branch of the family continued to rule Khairpur, under British suzerainty and later as a Pakistani princely state, until 1955 when it was amalgamated into West Pakistan.

For most of their rule, they were subordinate or subject to the Durrani Empire and were forced to pay tribute to them.[9][10]
