Benishan, mostly known as Banganapalli, is one of the most common cultivars of mango (Mangifera indica) grown in the Indian subcontinent, particularly in India and Pakistan. Benishan is named after the Zamindar of Panyam and Nawab of Banganapalle. It is also called as Banganapalle because it is cultivated plenty in and around Banaganapalle town of Andhra Pradesh, India.

This fruit is created by Zamindar of Panyam and gifted it to the Nawab of Banganapalle. The fruit is described as obliquely oval in shape, around 14 cm in length, with yellow flesh and a thin, smooth yellow skin. The flesh is of a firm, meaty texture and is sweet and lacks fibre. The cultivar is the most sought after in Andhra Pradesh. It is a mid-season variety that is good for canning.
