Jat Muslim, or Musalman Jats (Punjabi: مسلمان جٹ; Sindhi: مسلمان جت), are an elastic and diverse ethnoreligious subgroup of the Jat people, who follow Islam and are native to the northwestern Indian subcontinent. They are primarily found in the Pakistani provinces of Punjab, Sindh and Azad Kashmir. A small minority is also present in India's Haryana and Western Uttar Pradesh, where they are referred to as Muley Jats. The Jats began embracing Islam during the medieval period, influenced in part by Sufi teachings. According to the Jawahir-i-Faridi, Jat clans such as the Khokhars, Bhattis, Dhudhis, Hans, Johiyas, and Wattus converted during the time of Baba Farid. The process of conversion was gradual.
