Sultanpur, formerly Kusapura or Kushbhawanpur, city, central Uttar Pradesh state, northern India. It is located on the Gomati River, about 35 miles (55 km) south of Faizabad and 80 miles (130 km) southeast of Lucknow.

Sultanpur has existed since ancient times. It was destroyed and rebuilt repeatedly before passing under the rule of Muslim sultans. The Muslim town was destroyed during the Indian Mutiny (1857–58), and the present settlement arose as a British military outpost. It is now primarily an agricultural trade centre. Sultanpur’s surrounding area comprises a stretch of alluvial plain on both sides of the Gomati River. Wheat, rice, and barley are grown there. Pop. (2001) 100,065; (2011) 107,640.
