The Lalkhani are a Muslim Rajput community, found in North India. They are a sub-division of the Bargujar clan of Rajputs. The community is found mainly in the districts of Aligarh and Bulandshahr in Uttar Pradesh. They are found in Dataganj and Gunnaur tehsils of Badaun District. The term Lalkhani does not apply to all Muslim Bargujar, as those originally from Haryana.[1]

The Lalkhani Rajputs once held estates in the districts of Aligarh and Bulandshahr.[2] From their clan came the Muhammad Ahmad Said Khan Chhatari "Nawab of Chhatari", a prominent Muslim League politician, and last Prime Minister of the Hyderabad State.[1]
