Alipura was a princely state in what is today the Chhatarpur District in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.

Alipura, the capital of the state is located between Gwalior and Satna at 25°10′31″N 79°20′08″E / 25.1753400°N 79.3354900°E / 25.1753400; 79.3354900 and had a population of 3,232 according to the 1881 Census of India.

The state was established in 1757 by Aman Singh, Raja of Panna State by granting the lands surrounding Alipura town to Achal Singh, son of Mukund Singh, who was the sardar of Panna at that time. The principality became a British protectorate in 1808 and was made part of the Bundelkhand Agency of Central India.

The last ruler of Alipura signed the instrument of accession to the Indian Union on 1 January 1950.

The ruling family were members of the Bundela clan of the Ponwar line of Rajputs. The rulers used the title Rao.
