Rajputs in Bihar are members of the Rajput caste found in the Indian state of Bihar. They have a history stretching back to the early 14th century when Parmar Rajputs migrated and deposed the local Chero rulers. These Rajputs later came known as Ujjainiya Rajputs and form one of the many clans to now inhabit the region.
Bihari Rajputs have a long tradition of being recruited as mercenaries for various rulers such as the British and the Marathas.
Bihari Rajputs along with Bihari Brahmins made up the majority of the Bengal Army.
