Nashipur Akhara is an akhara[clarification needed] in Nashipur, Murshidabad district, West Bengal, India. It is situated close to the Nashipur Rajbari on the east of the Bhagirathi River. The motto of the Akhra is to remain a bachelor for ones entire life. Here every year Jhulan Yatra and the famous fair is held. People from far off assemble here to witness the dramas held on this auspicious occasion.

In the Nashipur Akhra, some very old articles like huge utensils and even a vintage car are kept in a small room. They are not maintained but are available for public viewing.
