The districts of Afghanistan are, after the provinces, the second level of administrative subdivisions in Afghanistan.

The number of districts (woleswali) in Afghanistan has fluctuated over the years, with new districts created by splitting or merging parts of others. Prior to 1979, there were 325 districts. This was increased to 329, and in 2004 a major reorganistion led to the number increasing to 397. As of June 2005, the Afghan Ministry of the Interior recognised 398 districts, divided between the 34 provinces. This number is expected to change with further administrative reorganisation.

The districts are listed below, by province:

Contents 1 Badakhshan Province 2 Badghis Province 3 Baghlan Province 4 Balkh Province 5 Bamyan Province 6 Daykundi Province 7 Farah Province 8 Faryab Province 9 Ghazni Province 10 Ghor Province 11 Helmand Province 12 Herat Province 13 Jowzjan Province 14 Kabul Province 15 Kandahar Province 16 Kapisa Province 17 Khost Province 18 Konar Province 19 Kunduz Province 20 Laghman Province 21 Lowgar Province 22 Nangarhar Province 23 Nimruz Province 24 Nurestan Province 25 Oruzgan Province 26 Paktia Province 27 Paktika Province 28 Panjshir Province 29 Parvan Province 30 Samangan Province 31 Sare Pol Province 32 Takhar Province 33 Wardak Province 34 Zabol Province 35 References
