Dinanagar is a town and a municipal council in Gurdaspur district in the Majha region of the state of Punjab, India. It takes its name after Adina Beg, one of Akbar's loyalists to whom the emperor granted Jagirs (big land holdings) in this area. The town came up during Akbar's regime and old buildings, bazaars and the walled portion of the town and its gates are a witness to this. It was the summer capital of maharaja Ranjit Singh .

Dinanagar town is situated about 14 l, North-East of Gurdaspur. It was founded by Adina Beg in 1730, on the bank of Hasli or Shah Nahar as his residence and cantonment. He seems to have exercised his government from this town.
