The Kingdom of Bhulua (Bengali: ভুলুয়া রাজ্য, romanized: Bhulua Rajjo) was a medieval kingdom of Bengal and later a zamindari, covering the present-day Noakhali region of Bangladesh. According to local tradition the establishment of the kingdom dates from the thirteenth century, when Bishwambhar Sur, ninth son of Adi Sur, a Kshatriya of Mithila who passed by the area during a pilgrimage. The kingdom fell under Tripura vassalage in the 15th century, and was reduced to a zamindari (fiefdom) after losing to the Mughals. Most of the kingdom's land has been eroded by the Meghna River.
