Prem Bhatia (1940–2018) was an Indian first-class cricketer. He featured in domestic cricket in India during the 1950s and 1960s, a period in which the Ranji Trophy and other domestic competitions were the principal stage for Indian cricketers outside the national team.

Bhatia belonged to the generation of Indian cricketers whose careers unfolded in the decades following independence, when domestic cricket in India was organised around regional and zonal teams competing in the Ranji Trophy, the Duleep Trophy and associated tournaments. Players from this period typically progressed through school, college and club cricket before representing a state or zonal side.
Bhatia is recorded among Indian first-class cricketers of his era. Detailed match-by-match statistics and team affiliations are maintained in domestic cricket archives.
Cricketers such as Bhatia formed part of the broad base of domestic talent that sustained the Indian first-class game in the post-independence decades, contributing to the structures from which the national team subsequently drew its players.
