Lalitpur is a city and a municipal board in Lalitpur District, India in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. It is also district headquarters of Lalitpur district. The city is part of Bundelkhand region.

Raja Sumer Singh, a chieftain from Central India, is said to have founded Lalitpur, and named it after his queen Lalita Devi, who cured him of a snake that lodged in his stomach, of which story parallels are heard in several places, {see Cunningham’s Archaeological Report, Vol. X)
