Nitharwal is a Punjabi tribe of Jats found in Punjab, Pakistan and Rajasthan, India. Ramesh Chandra Gunarthi in his book “Rajasthani Jatiyon ki khoj” (1977) has mentioned about the origin of this gotra. One of the sons of Amber ruler Kachwaha was Narsi who joined Jats. The descendants of Narsi are known as Nitharwal.

According to Mansukh Ranwa there is a village Nithara near Viratnagar in Jaipur district. The Jats of this village were called Nitharwal. They have descended from Kachwaha vans. They migrated from village Nithara and founded village Hanspur. Later on they founded villages Bharni, Ringas and Sitarampur.

Nitharwal gotra Jats are found in Shekhawati area of Rajasthan.
