Akhil Bhartiya Jat Mahasabha is a non-political and non-profit organization of Jats in India. The organization was created to raise awareness about the social and economic problems faced by peoples of Jat community. The Jat Mahasabha spearheaded the community's struggle for reservation in the run-up to the Lok Sabha elections in 1999. Sardar Dara Singh was the president, followed by patron Chaudhary Ajay Singh (Former High Commissioner to Fiji).

According to Nonica Datta, Jat Mahasabha was Arya Samaj's offshoot founded in 1905 in Muzaffarnagar. But Brij Kishore Sharma states that the claims of Datta are incorrect. According to him, it was founded in 1907, and that there are two claims regarding its place of formation. He notes that some sources support the Muzaffarnagar claim, but the Chhatri Jat journal states that it was founded at a fair in Garhmukteshwar, Uttar Pradesh.

The Mahasabha, a supra-provincial organization, was perceived in southeast Punjab as a symbol of unity in Jat society and as the main catalyst of reform and change. The Jat Mahasabha is a nonpolitical, social organization in nature. It is organized for the purpose of social reconstruction. Although the Jat Mahasabha has been functioning from 1993 for social causes, it is not a registered body, not even as an NGO or social organisation.

Sir Chhotu Ram was awarded the title of 'Rao Bahadur', and in 1923, he founded the Unionist Party or the 'Zamindar Association' to protect the interests of farmers.

Governor Malcolm Hailey addressed the Jat Mahasabha in 1930.
