Baansi is a village in Bari Sadri Tehsil of District Chittorgarh in Rajasthan, India. It was ruled by Rajputs of the Shaktawat clan before independence. Its name derives from the abundance of bamboo (called bans in Hindi). It is 94 km from Udaipur City and 78 km South west of Chittorgarh.

Bansi was one of the sixteen umrao thikanas of the house of Mewar.
