Raja Bhagwant Das (c.1527 – 4 December 1589) was the 23rd ruler of Amber. He also served as the Mughal Subahdar of Lahore and the Subahdar of Kabul for a few months in 1586. His step-sister, Mariam-uz-Zamani, was the chief consort of Mughal emperor Akbar. His son, Man Singh I, one of the Navaratnas of Akbar, became the highest-ranking official of his court. His step-daughter, Man Bai, was the first and chief wife of Prince Salim (later Jahangir).
