Gabhana is a tehsil, block, town and a Nagar panchayat in Aligarh district, 23 km from the district headquarters in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India.

==Geography== Gabhana is situated on the Grand Trunk Road 100  km southeast of New Delhi and 80 km from Noida and Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. Neighbouring cities are Khair and Khurja. It is near to Harduaganj Thermal Power Station, one of the oldest hydroelectric power plants of India. This was the Gabhana estate of Jadaun Rajputs, whose descendants migrated here from Karauli State and built the notable Fort Gabhana, a sandstone palace recently renovated quite drastically by the current occupant. The fort is located in the Aligarh district of Uttar Pradesh, India. It was built during the reign of the Raja Surajmal Jadaun in the early 18th century. The fort reflects the architectural style and strategic significance of the era.
