Hanswar is a village in the Ambedkar Nagar district of Uttar Pradesh, India, located east of Tanda.

Hanswar, located 70-80 miles from Ayodhya, had a history dating back to the Mughal period.

The ruler of the estate, Ranvijay Singh and his wife Jaikumari, vehemently opposed the construction of the Babri Masjid by Mir Baqi on Ram Janmabhoomi along with other Hindu rulers of the time.

The Janmabhoomi Parisar was in control of Ranvijay Singh for 15 days well after it became part of the Babri Masjid, after which he died in a battle with the Mughal Army.

Hanswar has bus routes connecting to the nearby cities of New Delhi, Mumbai, Agra, Ludhiana, Ambala, Lucknow, Varanasi, Jaunpur, Allahabad, Azamgarh, Gorakhpur, Faizabad, Akbarpur, Rajesultanpur and Ghazipur.
