'''Datia State''' ({{lang-hi|दतिया राज्य}}) was a [[princely state]] in [[subsidiary alliance]] with [[British India]].<ref>[https://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V11_201.gif Imperial Gazetteer of India]</ref><br />
<br />
The state was administered as part of the [[Bundelkhand Agency]] of [[Central India Agency|Central India]]. It lay in the extreme north-west of Bundelkhand, near [[Gwalior]], and was surrounded on all sides by other princely states of Central India, except on the east where it bordered upon the [[United Provinces of Agra and Oudh|United Provinces]].<ref name=EB1911>{{cite EB1911 |wstitle=Datia |volume=7 |pages=845–846}}</ref><br />

The land area of the state was {{convert|2130|sqmi|km2}} its population in 1901 was 53,759. It enjoyed an estimated revenue of £2,00,000. The state suffered from famine in 1896–97, and again to a lesser extent in 1899–1900.<ref name=EB1911/><br />

After [[Independence of India|India's independence]] in 1947, the Maharaja of Datia [[Instrument of Accession|acceded]] unto the [[Dominion of India]]; it later merged with the [[Dominion of India|Union of India]].
