Bhagwat Singh (1927–1984) was a member of the erstwhile royal house of Mewar and a first-class cricketer from India. He belonged to the Sisodia Rajput dynasty traditionally associated with the princely state of Udaipur in present-day Rajasthan, and pursued cricket alongside his ceremonial role within the Mewar royal family.

The House of Mewar, headquartered historically at Udaipur, is among the oldest surviving royal lineages in India and traces its descent through the Sisodia Rajputs. After the integration of the princely states into the Indian Union following independence in 1947, members of the Mewar family retained ceremonial and cultural standing while many took up professions in public life, business, sport and the armed forces. Bhagwat Singh's lifetime (1927–1984) spanned this transition from princely India to the Republic.
Bhagwat Singh played cricket at the first-class level in India during the mid-twentieth century, a period when several members of Indian princely families were prominent patrons and players of the game. Royal involvement contributed significantly to the development of domestic cricket in Rajasthan and other regions in the years before and after independence.
Bhagwat Singh is remembered both for his association with the Mewar royal house and for his participation in Indian cricket during an era in which the sport was closely linked to princely patronage. His career reflects the broader pattern of Rajput nobility transitioning into civic and sporting roles in post-independence India.
