Durrani  tribe is one of the two largest pashtun tribes of afghanistan and is also found in large numbers in western pakistan. They are estimated to be roughly 20% of the population of Afghanistan and number around 7 million there with another 1-2 million found in Pakistan and hundreds of thousands also live in northeast iran. The Durrani are the most "Persianized" of pashtun tribes, often bilingual in dari, as well as arguably being among the most urbanized and educated of the Pashtuns in Afghanistan.

The Durrani have been prominent leaders, as the royal family of Afghanistan is derived from the tribe, and a substantial number of Durrani are bureaucrats and public officials, as well as businessmen and merchants. durranis in pakistan are inhabitat in multan, attock districts of punjab and other parts of punjab.
