The '''Kashmir Division''' is a [[List of divisions in India|revenue and administrative division]] in the [[Kashmir Valley]] region of [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]]. It borders [[Jammu Division]] to the south and the union territory of [[Ladakh]] to the east, while the [[Line of Control]] forms its boundary with the [[Pakistan]]i-administered territories of [[Gilgit-Baltistan|Gilgit−Baltistan]] and [[Azad Kashmir]] to the north and west, respectively.

[[Srinagar]] is its main city and also the summer capital of the Jammu and Kashmir. Other main cities are [[:Anantnag]], [[:Baramulla]], [[:Sopore]] and [[:Pulwama]].
