Kirpan (Bahasa Panjabi: ਕਿਰਪਾਨcode: pa is deprecated ; sebutan: [kɪɾpaːn]) ialah bilah melengkung, bermata tunggal yang diwajibkan oleh Khalsa Sikh untuk dipakai sebagai sebahagian daripada pakaian agama mereka, seperti yang ditetapkan oleh Kod Tingkah Laku Sikh.^[1] Secara tradisinya, kirpan adalah pedang talwar bersaiz penuh sekitar 76 cm (30 inci) panjangnya;^[2] bagaimanapun, dasar dan undang-undang kolonial British yang diperkenalkan pada abad ke-19 mengurangkan panjang bilahnya,^[3]^[4] dan pada zaman moden, kirpan biasanya berbentuk belati atau pisau. Menurut Kod Tingkah Laku Sikh, "Panjang pedang yang perlu dipakai tidak ditetapkan".^[5] Ia adalah sebahagian daripada perintah agama yang diberikan oleh Guru Gobind Singh pada tahun 1699, yang menubuhkan perintah Khalsa dan memperkenalkan lima artikel kepercayaan (lima K) yang mesti dipakai setiap masa.^[6]^[7]

In earlier times the sacred kirpan carried by Sikhs had traditionally been the full size tulwar sword. By the 20th century the kirpan carried by Sikhs had evolved from the typical 76 cm (30 inch) blade of a tulwar sword to a short blade less than 45 cm (18 inches). The change in blade length of the sacred kirpan from a sword to a knife was a difficult one for Sikhs and a direct result of onerous laws passed by the British in India. Under the Indian Arms Act (XI) of 1878, no person could carry arms except under special exemption or by virtue of a licence; the act was applied to the Sikh kirpan. At the advent of World War I, the British government fearing that the ban would affect Sikh recruitment into the British Army, thought it advisable to relax the enforcement of the provision.
