Kothi State (or Koti State) was a princely state of the British Raj.{{cite EB1911 |wstitle=Keonthal |volume=15 |page=749}} It belonged to the Bagelkhand Agency of Central India. Its capital was at Kothi, in modern Satna district of Madhya Pradesh.

It was a relatively small Sanad.

History

Kothi State was founded at an uncertain date by a Baghel Rajput ruler who expelled the former Bharr ruler of the area.

Towards the beginning of the nineteenth century, and in much the same manner as neighbouring Sohawal, Kothi became a British protectorate initially subordinate to Panna State. However, a separate sanad was granted to Rais Lal Duniyapati Singh in 1810.[https://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V16_008.gif Imperial Gazetteer of India, v. 16, p. 2.]

The last ruler of Kothi signed the instrument of accession to the Indian Union on 1 January 1950.{{cn|date=January 2017}}
