Fateh Singh (d. 1716), an army commander under Banda Singh Bahadur, was appointed administrator of Samana after the town was occupied by the Sikhs in 1709. Fateh Singh participated in several of Banda Singh's battles against the Mughal rulers. In the battle of Sirhind fought at the nearby village of Chappar Chiri, Fateh Singh killed Nawab Wazir Khan, the faujdar of Sirhind.

He was taken prisoner at Lohgarh in December 1710 and, after several years in jail, was executed in Delhi in June 1716 along with Banda Singh and his other companions.
