Churaman (died 1721) was a Jat chieftain of Sinsini, Rajasthan. He became leader of the Jats after Rajaram's death. Bahadur Shah I made him a mansabdar after he supported him against Muhammad Azam Shah in becoming the emperor. He was also made the faujdar of Mathura, and the imperial highway from Delhi to Agra was placed under his protection by the Mughal emperor.^[1]

After Churaman's anti-Mughal activities, the Mughal emperor Farrukhsiyar sent Jai Singh II with 50,000 soldiers to siege his stronghold at Thun in November 1716. When Jai Singh was unable to register a victory against him even after one and a half years of the siege, the Mughals negotiated with Churaman.^[2]
