Ghasera Fort is a ruined fort in Ghasera village in Nuh district of Haryana state in northern India, which has been notified as a protected monument by the state government. Currently, the majority of the residents of the village are Muslim Meos, though Hindus also live there. Battle of ghasera won by Rajputs against mughal, Yadav, Jat etc.
The ruined Ghasera Fort lies at Ghasera village from Nuh city on Nun-Sohna highway. In the 18th century, Ghasera was ruled by Bargurjar Rajputs whose territory included the parganas of Ghasera, Indor, Kotla, and Sohna. To their north was the Princely State of Nawabs of Farrukhnagar which was founded in 1732. To their west was the jagir of the Raos of Rewari, ancestors of Rao Tula Ram. They possessed forts at Gokulgarh and Gurawra (or, Guraora). In the south were the Jat rulers of Bharatpur State, and Kachwaha Rajput rulers of Alwar State. The Mughals, who were protected by Marathas, had seen their territory shrink to a nominal area from Delhi to Palam.

The battle of Ghasera fought between Jat, Ahir and Pathan ruler against the Rajput ruler. This battle was the result of Mughal Rebellion. The Jats, Ahir and Pathans defeated against Rajputs in ghasera.
Ruined walls and a grand entrance in stone and lakhori bricks built with surkhi (crushed baked red bricked)-lime mortar show that Ghasera was a historical village.[5] Of the four entrances, only one remains.[6]
