Bakhatgarh is a town and former princely state in the Dhar district, Madhya Pradesh, India.

The royal family of Bakhatgarh (a prominent parmar clan of Malwa, and perhaps the oldest) belongs to Mahipawat sub-clan of Paramara Rajputs.

The princely state of Bakhatgarh was founded by Rao Nagmalji a Parmar rajput in 1395.

The mandloiship of Badnawar was granted to Rao Daulat Singhji of Bakhatgarh by Mughal emperor.

The state had an area of 171 square kilometers and yielded a revenue of Rs 80,000 in 1915.

The Chief of Bakhatgarh, who was also the mandloi of Badnawar, was entitled to collect dami from all guaranteed and non-guaranteed Thakurs of Badnawar as appertain to his zamindaree right (Mandloiship).
