Chauhan, Chouhan or Chohan is a clan that ruled parts of northern India in the medieval period. Prithviraj Chauhan, the last Hindu king of Delhi, was a member of this community.

Rajput bardic accounts describe the Chauhans as one of the four Agnikula Rajput clans which claims to have originated from a sacrificial fire-pit (agnikunda) at Mount Abu to fight against the Asuras or demons whereas in context Agnikula is considered as another branch of Suryavanshi Rajput descent.

Manik Rai (AD 685), progenitor of Chauhan dynasty was lord of Ajmer and Sambhar in Western Rajwara.

Harsraj Chauhan reigned about 812 - 827 VS (756 AD), his authority stretching from Aravalli to Abu to Chambal. He fell to the Muslim invaders from Sind. A Chauhan king ruled from Lahore and sought the help of his sovereign, the king of Ajmer, who sent forward a force of 5,000 of the finest Chauhan horsemen to aid the Chauhan king of Lahore. Lahore king's brother led the forces, and fought as many as 70 battles with the forces of Ghor, Gajni and Kabul.
