The Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir was the ruler of the erstwhile Indian princely state of Kashmir. The first Maharaja was Gulab Singh, who became Raja of Jammu through a grant from the Sikh ruler Ranjit Singh, and subsequently accepted the throne of Kashmir.

The princely state of Kashmir came to be one of the major constituents of British India; the last Maharaja was Hari Singh who controversially acceded to India in 1947.
