Udayanraje Bhosle (born 24 February 1966) is an Indian politician serving as a member of the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of the Parliament of India, from Maharashtra since 2020. He is a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party.[3]

Bhosale is the 17th holder of the title of Chhatrapati which was founded by the Maratha king, Shivaji on his coronation in 1674.[4]

He is addressed as Chhatrapati by some in the media, however the title is entirely ceremonial and in the role of a pretender.
