Laharpur is a town, tehsil headquarter and a municipal board in Sitapur district in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

Muslims ruled the town until the death of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in 1707, when, taking advantage of widespread anarchy across Mughal Empire, a local Gaur commander, Raja Chandar Sen invaded Sitapur in 1707.

Since then, it remained under the control local Gaur Kshatriyas until 1858 when it came under the rule of British Crown.

Males constitute 52% of the population and females 48%.The sex ratio of Laharpur Tehsil is 896, which means that for every 1,000 men, there are 896 women.

The core business used to be weaving by local artisans mostly belonging to Muslim community but due to high cost of raw material and higher labor cost, this artisan based craft is on the verge of extinction.
