Bhudargad Assembly constituency (formerly Bhudargad–Ajra Assembly constituency) was an assembly constituency in the Indian state of Maharashtra.

Following the 1955 Delimitation, no major boundary changes were made, and the Bhudargad–Ajra constituency was renamed as Bhudargad Assembly constituency. After the 1967 Delimitation, the constituency was abolished.

As part of the reorganisation, the Bhudargad area was merged into the Radhanagari Assembly constituency, while the Ajra Mahal region was divided between the Chandgad Assembly constituency and the Gadhinglaj Assembly constituency (Uttur e.d.).
