'''Jayappaji Rao Shinde''' (Sindhia, Shinde) (c. 1720 - 25 July 1755) also known as '''Jayappa Dadasahib''', was a [[Maratha]] general. He ruled [[Gwalior State]] in northern [[India]] from 1745 to 1755, succeeding his father [[Ranoji Rao Scindia]] who had founded it.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://starnarcosis.net/obsidian/india.html |title=Regnal Chronologies: Greater India |access-date=11 October 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071009225524/http://starnarcosis.net/obsidian/india.html |archive-date=9 October 2007 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

He was killed by two men named Khokar Kesar Khan and Shri Kan Singh ji, who were adherents of [[Maharaja]] [[Vijay Singh of Marwar|Vijay Singh]] of [[Jodhpur]] before the walls of [[Nagaur]] in [[Rajasthan]] on 25 July 1755,{{cn|date=August 2020}} after entanglement in the affairs of Jodhpur<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.rajasthan-tour-package.net/Maratha-RajputsRelations.htm |title=Maratha - Rajputs Relations |access-date=11 October 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071014205305/http://rajasthan-tour-package.net/Maratha-RajputsRelations.htm |archive-date=14 October 2007 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

He was succeeded by his son [[Jankoji Rao Scindia]], who was killed at the [[Third Battle of Panipat]] in 1761.

Jayappa had four daughters who married in the knight families of Shinde, including one in Nimbalkar, two in Ghorpade and last one in the house of Savant - Bhonsle family. Jankoji Shinde married Kashibai Nimbalkar, sister of Vyankatrao and Janrao Nimbalkar of Phaltan, both Sardars of the [[Nizam of Hyderabad]], hailing from Phaltan.{{citation needed|date=March 2022}}
