Banvir, also known as Banbeer (died 1540) was the ruler of Mewar Kingdom between 1536 and 1540. He was nephew of Rana Sanga, born to his brother Prithviraj and his cocunbine.
Banvir, succeeded to the throne of Mewar in the age of political unstability in the kingdom which started in aftermath of Sanga's death in 1528. In 1536 CE, aided by chiefs of Mewar, he assassinated Vikramaditya and became the next ruler of the dynasty. Despite his administrative reforms, he failed to get support of Mewar nobles due to his illegitimate birth. He was defeated and killed in Battle of Mavli in 1540 CE against Udai Singh II who succeeded him as the next ruler.
