A study was undertaken on 25 genotypes of faba bean from different parts of India to make observations at maturity on 100-seed weight, hydration coefficient, swelling coefficient, hull, dal recovery, cooking time, hard-seed percentage, and protein per seed. The genotypes were grown during winter at livestock farm at the Farm of J.N. Agricultural University in Jabalpur in India in randomized complete block design with four replications, with 30-cm row spacing and 15-cm plant spacing. The soil of the farm is typic chromustent with clay-texture and pH (7.5). The crop was fertilized with 20 kg N and 80 kg of P2O5/ha. The assessment of genetic divergence in the 25 genotypes using Mahalanobis D2 analysis of physical quality characters revealed considerable genetic diversity. The genotypes were grouped in three clusters. Cluster I had the highest number of genotypes (11) followed by cluster II (8). There was no relationship between geographical distribution and genotypic diversity. The genotypes of cluster III with minimum hard seed were cooked in minimum time and had maximum hydration, swelling, and dal recovery percentage, and protein content per seed,
