Kunwar Multana Singh Bahadur[citation needed], sometimes styled as Shahzada (1819 - 1846) was the son of Ranjit Singh, Maharaja of Sikh Empire and Rani Ratan Kaur.

He was said to be the son of a Muslim slave girl in the household of Maharani Datar Kaur, by an attendant in the zenana. He was procured by Ratan Kaur and presented to and accepted by Ranjit Singh as her son, and named so due to the recent conquest of Multan. [3] He married Bakhtawar Kaur and had three sons: Kishan Singh, Keshra Singh, Arjan Singh.[4] Sardar Arjan Singh served as a munsif in Punjab for many years. Multana Singh died in 1846.
