'''Daffadar''' ([[Hindustani language|Hindustani]]: दफ़ादार <small>([[Devanagari]])</small> ; {{Nastaliq|دفعدار}} <small>([[Nastaliq]])</small>) is the equivalent rank to [[sergeant]] in the Indian and Pakistani [[cavalry]], as it was formerly in the [[British Indian Army]]. The rank below is [[lance daffadar]]. The equivalent in infantry and other units is [[havildar]]. Like a British sergeant, a daffadar wears three rank [[Chevron (insignia)|chevron]]s.

The etymology of the word is unclear. The -dar suffix, found in [[havildar]] and other words, means "holder". Thus the word means "holder of dafa' ". The intended meaning of dafa' is, however, unclear. In Arabic it means "pay" or "push", while in Persian, the more obvious source of the word, it means repulsion. It is unclear what role, if any, the word daffadar indicated in the [[Mughal Empire]] before it was used as a [[British Raj]] rank.
