Rao Bhati (also Rao Bhatti or Raja Bhatti) was an ancient Hindu monarch (raja) who ruled during c. 3rd century. He is considered the eponymous ancestor of the Bhatti/Bhati clan of Rajputs present in modern-day India and Pakistan. Bhati and his descendants claim direct descent from the Hindu mythological Yaduvanshi lineage of the Lunar dynasty. He is also the common ancestor of many notable individuals and families.
