Baba Ratan Hindi (Arabic: بابا رتن الهندي; lit. 'Baba Ratan the Indian') was one of the non-Arab companions of the Islamic prophet Muhammad from India.
Baba was born in Punjab. He was a trader who used to take goods from India to Arabia. There is also a dargah named after him, the Haji Ratan Dargah, in Bathinda, India. People who migrated to Pakistan during the partition of India in 1947 still venerate him.
