The Sandhu or Sindhu clan (Punjabi: ਸੰਧੂ (Gurmukhi); سندھو (Shahmukhi)) is the second-largest clan of Jats in the Punjab, spanning both India and Pakistan. The Sandhus have had a significant impact on Sikh history, founding several Sikh states, including the Nakai Misl, Shaheedan Misl, and Kanhaiya Misl.
Qadir Yar Sandhu, a Muslim Jat and court poet of Ranjit Singh, made notable contributions towards Punjabi literature.
