The administrative units of Pakistan comprise four provinces, two territories in the Kashmir region, and a capital territory. The provinces and territories are further subdivided into 37 divisions, which are subsequently divided into districts, tehsils, and finally union councils. The division system was abolished in 2000 but was subsequently restored in 2008.

These divisions do not encompass the Islamabad Capital Territory. The formerly Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), which previously held the same administrative status as provinces, were merged into Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and incorporated into neighbouring divisions within that province in 2018.
