Bargujar also called Badgujar are one of the Hindu Rajput clans of the Indian subcontinent. During Mughal Empire, many members of Bargujar Rajputs converted to Islam, of whom notable are Lalkhani and Sabitkhani tribe of Muslim Bargujar Rajputs. Therefore, Bargujar clan is found both in Hindu and Muslims.

The Bargujars form one of the many branches of Rajput clans of Indian subcontinent. They were vassals to Gurjara-Pratiharas. The Bargujars are said to have fought on the side of Prithvi Raj Chauhan against the Chandelas of Mahoba and earlier, they are said to have assisted Prithivi's grandfather in driving Tomars out of Delhi. During Muslim conquests in northern India, they were persecuted and to avoid genocide some changed their name to Sikarwar.

The Bargujars find mention in inscriptions at Machari (Sanchari), inscriptions at Paranagar, inscriptions at Rajgarh (all near Alwar), mentioning that 'the rulers who took title of Raja of Machari belong to the Bargujar Rajput clan'. The capital of their Principality was Deoti. The Raja Bagh Singh of Bargujar clan is still worshiped as a clan-hero and his temple located at Rajgarh and whenever a son is born in family, they come here to offer their prayers. Among the notable chiefs of Baragujar are Raja Pratap Singh, close associate of Prithiviraj Chauhan, who founded his kingdom with capital at Barauli near Bulandshahar after defeating the Meos from Pahasu, Dibai and Anupshahr. He belonged to the Bargujar rulers of Macheri (Alwar) and was invited by Prithviraj Chauhan to this area.

They are mainly distributed in present day Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.
