'''Bhim Singh''' (? – 22 July 1537) was a sixteenth-century [[Rajput]] ruler of [[Jaipur State|Amber]].

He was the eldest son of his father, Raja [[Prithviraj Singh I]], by his wife Bala Bai, a daughter of Rao [[Lunkaran]] of [[Bikaner State|Bikaner]].<ref name=SarkarP33>{{cite book |last=Sarkar |first=Jadunath |author-link=Jadunath Sarkar |title=A History of Jaipur: C. 1503-1938 |publisher=Orient Longman Limited |year=1984 |page=33 |isbn=81-250-0333-9 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=O0oPIo9TXKcC&pg=PA33 }}</ref><ref name=SinghP1518>{{harvtxt|Singh|1992|p=1518}}</ref> Some sources allege that Prithviraj died at the hands of Bhim, who in turn was later killed by his own son [[Askaran]]. However, these claims of patricide are dismissed by historian [[Jadunath Sarkar]], who asserts that they lack credibility since their sources are anonymous and undated.<ref>{{harvtxt|Sarkar|1984|pp=42–43}}</ref> Bhim is also said to have overthrown his predecessor, his brother [[Puranmal]], though this too is uncertain.<ref>{{cite book |last=Hooja |first=Rima |title=A history of Rajasthan |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tosMAQAAMAAJ |publisher=Rupa & Co. |year=2006 |page=482 |isbn=9788129108906 }}</ref>

Bhim only reigned three and a half years before dying on 22 July 1537. He was succeeded in quick succession by two sons, [[Ratan Singh of Amber|Ratan Singh]] and Askaran, before the throne eventually passed to his younger brother [[Bharmal]].<ref name=SarkarP33/>
