Saryupareen Brahmins, also known as Sarvarya Brahmins, Sarjupar Brahmins or Saryupariya Brahmins, are Brahmins native to the eastern plain of the Sarayu, in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.[1]

The Saryupareen generally dwell in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh, with most of them concentrated in the eastern region of Uttar Pradesh known as Purvanchal. There are also minority Saryupareen communities in Mauritius, where Bhojpuri is a commonly spoken language, and the Caribbean.
