Maharaja Badan Singh (Reign: 1722 – 21 May 1755) was formal founder and first Maharaja of the Bharatpur state. 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.
