'''Khilchipur State''' was a 9 gun salute [[princely state]] in India. The seat was in [[Khilchipur]]. It had an area of {{convert|273|sqmi|km2|order=flip}}, and a population of 31,143 in 1901. Its estimated revenue in 1901 was Rs.1,14,000.<ref>https://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V08_131.gif</ref>

==History==
Founded in 1544 by Dewan Ugra Sen, who was forced by family dissensions to migrate from the Khichi capital of Gagraun. A grant of land was subsequently made to him by the Mughal Emperor, which included the adjoining Zirapur and Machalpur parganas, later conquered by [[Indore State]], and Shujalpur, later in [[Gwalior State]].
Khilchipur State became a prey to the attack of the Maharaja [[Scindia]] of Gwalior, in A.D. 1770 when Abhai Singh, the Ruler of Khilchipur was obliged to make terms with [[Mahadaji Sindhia]] and became his tributary.

Khilchipur was formerly the capital of this princely state, under the [[Bhopal Agency]] of [[British India]]'s [[Central India Agency]]. The rulers acceded to the [[Government of India]] after India's independence in 1947, and the Khilchipur became part of the new state of [[Madhya Bharat]]. Madhya Bharat was merged into [[Madhya Pradesh]] on 1 November 1956.<ref>https://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/text.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V15_284.gif</ref>
