The term Rajasthani Muslims is usually used to signify Rajasthani Muslims from the state of Rajasthan in the north-western part of India, speaking Rajasthani as a mother-tongue (first language), and following certain customs different from other Indian Muslims. Rajasthani Muslims are very prominent in industry and medium-sized businesses. Many members of this community migrated to Pakistan in 1947 and have settled in Karachi and Sindh, contributing greatly to the general welfare and economy of Pakistan.

According to the Indian census of 2011,[1] there were 4,788,227 Muslims in Rajasthan, constituting 8.5% of the state's population.
