Banvir (died 1540), also known as Banbeer, was the ruler of Mewar between 1536 and 1540. He was a nephew of Rana Sanga, born to his elder brother Prithviraj and his concubine.
Banvir, succeeded to the throne of Mewar in the age of political unstability in the kingdom which started in aftermath of Sanga's death in 1528. In 1536, aided by chiefs of Mewar, he assassinated Vikramaditya and became the next ruler of the dynasty. Despite his administrative reforms, he failed to get support of Mewar nobles due to his illegitimate birth. He was defeated and killed in Battle of Mavli in 1540 against Udai Singh II who succeeded him as the next ruler of Mewar kingdom.
