'''Qubāzpūr''' was a town and [[pargana]] in western [[Bengal]] during the time of the [[Mughal Empire]]; the pargana at least also continued to exist under the [[British Raj]]. Its exact location is unknown, but its approximate location was in present-day [[Purba Bardhaman district]], somewhere between [[Samudragarh]] and [[Katwa]].<br />
