Dainhat is a town and a Municipality under Katwa police station of Katwa subdivision, in Purba Bardhaman district in the state of West Bengal, India.

==History== A Maratha cavalry or Bargis under Bhaskar Pandit sent to Bengal by Raghoji I Bhonsle in the 18th century entered through Panchet and started looting the countryside. Bhaskar Pandit had decided to build Dainhat as his main camp to attack enemies. He had dug several trenches to protect his camp. A temple created by Bhaskar Pandit still exits near the place Swamaj Bati of Dainhat. Currently that temple is known as Kishore Kishori Mandir.
