Colonel Maharaj Prem Singh (15 November 1915 – 1 June 2000) was an Indian polo player and military officer. He is one of the most distinguished figures in Indian polo history. Born into a princely family in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, his career highlights include leading the Woolmers Park Team to victory in the Rome Championship in 1953 and contributing to India’s success in tournaments like the Queen’s Cup in the United Kingdom. Beyond polo, Singh excelled in golf, winning the Asian Championship in 1953, and was adept in shooting, squash, tennis, and cycle polo. A member of the Jodhpur Lancers until 1948, he played a pivotal role in reviving polo in Bombay, Madras, and Hyderabad after leaving the military. In 1961, he became the first polo player to receive the Arjuna Award.
