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 Ujjania Rajputs are form one of the many clans to inhabit the region. The districts of Shahabad and Sarun hold the largest population of Rajputs in Bihar. Many of the clans that inhabit the region include Parmars, Sirnet, Rathores, Chauhans, Gehlots and others.

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.
