Bihar (बिहार) is een deelstaat van India. De staat ligt in het oostelijke deel van het land. De hoofdstad is Patna. De staat had ruim 104 miljoen inwoners in 2011. Bihar is na de staatsherindeling van 2000 de op elf na grootste staat van India en na Uttar Pradesh en Maharashtra de dichtst bevolkte staat van het land. De bevolkingsgroei was tussen 2001 en 2011 25% groter dan in elke andere Indiase staat, met uitzondering van enkele weinig bevolkte staten in het uiterste noorden en twee territoria. Achtenvijftig procent van de bevolking is jonger dan 25 jaar, het hoogste percentage in India. Slechts 11,29% van de bevolking van Bihar woont in verstedelijkt gebied, wat op de bergstaat Himachal Pradesh na veel lager is dan in alle andere Indiase staten en territoria. De gemiddelde bevolkingsdichtheid is wel in lijn met de andere deelstaten. De grootste steden van Bihar zijn Patna, Gaya, Bhagalpur, Muzaffarpur, Darbhanga en Purnia. Bihar is een landbouwstaat: tachtig procent van de bevolking werkt in de landbouw.
