Bahirojipant Pingale / Bhaironji Pant Pingale (Marathi: बहिरोजीपंत पिंगळे / भैरवजीपंत पिंगळे) was the younger son of Moropant Trimbak Pingle. His father, Moropant Pingle was the first Peshwa of Shahu I. When Kanhoji Angre attacked Satara in 1711, Bahiroji was taken a prisoner by him. Immediately Shahu I ordered Balaji Vishwanath to ensure his release and also gave Balaji Vishwanath authority in the form of the post of Peshwa, so that he could negotiate with Kanhoji Angre on behalf of the king.
The Pingale family still lives in Lonavala. The current head of the family is Gajanan Ramchandra Pingale.
