Bahraich, city, northeast-central Uttar Pradesh state, northern India. It is located on a tributary of the Ghaghara River and on a rail line between Lucknow (southwest) and Nepalganj, Nepal (north).

The area’s history is little known before it was invaded in 1033 by Sayyid Sālār Masʿūd, an Afghan warrior-saint. It subsequently changed hands several times before becoming part of British India. Bahraich is a centre of trade (agricultural products and timber) with Nepal; there is also some sugar processing. The tomb of Sayyid Sālār Masʿūd, who died there also in 1033, is visited by Muslim and Hindu pilgrims. The ruins of a Buddhist monastery are located west of the city. The surrounding agricultural region produces rice, corn (maize), wheat, and gram (chickpeas). Pop. (2001) 168,323; (2011) 186,223.
