Parbhani, city, east-central Maharashtra state, western India. It lies in an upland plateau region about 10 miles (16 km) south of the Dudna River.

Parbhani is a commercial and industrial centre with cotton ginning and pressing as major industries. Shivaji Udyan (Shivaji’s Garden) and the fort of Roshan Khan, as well as the tomb of Hazrat Sayyad Shah Turabat, are important landmarks. The economy of the surrounding region is almost wholly agricultural; the chief crops are sorghum (jowar), pearl millet (bajra), cotton, and sugarcane. Pop. (2001) 259,329; (2011) 307,170.
