:For the town in Chhattisgarh see Raigarh.

Raigad (Marathi:рд░рд╛рдпрдЧрдб) is a hill fortress situated in the modern day Raigad district of Maharashtra, India. The Maratha king Shivaji made the fort his capital in 1674 when he was crowned King of a Maratha Kingdom which later developed into the Maratha Empire eventually covering majority of modern day India.

The fort, which rises 820 m (2690.3 ft) above sea level, is located in the Sahyadri mountain range. There are approximately 1400 я┐╜ 1450 steps leading to the fort, though today a rope-way exists to reach the top of the fort. The fort was looted and destroyed by the British upon siege.
