Raja Puran Mal (r. 1529 – January 1543) was a Rajput ruler of Chanderi and Raisen, present-day town in Madhya Pradesh, India, during the Mughal period and the Suri dynasty.

He defeated Babur's Mughal army at Chanderi in 1529 and occupied the Chanderi Fort. Negotiations were made after Sher Shah Suri's attack on the fort in 1542 but Puran Mal was killed by conspiracists.

Though numerous other sources offer a different account, in which after the six-month long siege of Raisen, Puran Mal surrendered to Sher Shah and was thereafter executed.
