Lakšmi Bej (Varanasi, 19. novembar 1828 – Gvalior, 18. jun 1858) je bila vladarka države Džansi u Centralnoj Indiji.
Lakšmi Bej je bila jedan od glavnih vođa ustanka u Indiji protiv britanske kolonijalne ekspanzije 1857. godine. Nakon pada Džansija (1858), nastavila je da vodi gerilski rat. Povukla se, najpre u Kalpi, a potom zajedno sa Tantija Topijem zauzima Gvalior. Britanci su je uporno gonili, plašeći se širenja ustanka. S Britancima se sukobila kod Kotaha gde je i poginula (17. jun 1858). Prema oceni Britanaca, bila je najveštiji i najhrabriji vođa ustanika u Indiji.
