The Gujarat States Agency was a political agency of British India that supervised a group of princely states in Gujarat on behalf of the Crown. It brought together states such as Cambay, Bansda and Sachin, earlier under the Surat and Rewa Kantha agencies. Its states acceded to India in 1947 and were merged into Bombay State in 1948–1949.
