Daljit Shah (Nepali: दलजित शाह) was a Prince of the Gorkha Kingdom. He was active during the military campaign known as the Unification of Nepal led by his brother, King Prithvi Narayan Shah.[1]

He held the rank of Chautaria, and Kaji.[2][3] Shah commanded various battles including the Capture of Palanchok, the Battle of Kirtipur, the Battle of Kavre, and the Battle of Makwanpur.[2][4][5]

Shah and Bahadur Shah were allegedly conspiring against Pratap Singh Shah to crown Bahadur Shah as the king of Nepal.[6] When the conspiracy was discovered, Daljit Shah and Bahadur Shah were imprisoned in Nuwakot.[6][7]
