Morvi State, also spelled as Morvee State or Morbi State, was a princely salute state in the historical Halar prant (district) of Kathiawar during the British Raj.

The town of Morvi (Morbi), Gujarat, was its capital.[citation needed] The Kotwals of the royal palace of Morvi were Talpada Kolis of Radhavanaj village of Kheda district.[1]

The rulers of the princely state belonged to the Jadeja rajput dynasty.[2][3]

The state's last ruler signed the instrument of accession to the Dominion of India on 15 February 1948.[citation needed]
