Maharaja Bakht Singh (16 August 1706 – 21 September 1752), was the Raja of Marwar Kingdom (r. July 1751 - 21 September 1752)

He was granted Nagaur in Jagir on 4 July 1726, by his elder brother, in reward for killing his father, and hastening his accession to the throne.

Quarrelling with his brother, Maharaja Abhai Singh, he attempted to wrest the throne from him with the help of Maharaja Gaj Singh of Bikaner.

Later, he reconciled to him, but rebelled against his son, after his death in 1749 and defeated his nephew in battle at Luniawas, 27 November 1750.

He died suddenly from Cholera, at Sindholi, 21 September 1752.
