The Anglo-Marri wars were three major military conflicts between the Marri Baloch tribesmen and the British Empire in the independent eastern Baloch tribal belt (now in the north-eastern region of Balochistan, Pakistan). The conflicts took place in the 19th and 20th centuries, specifically in 1840, 1880, and 1917.
During these wars, battles were fought mostly in the mountainous tribal areas of Kohistan-e-Marri and adjacent localities. These areas are now under the administrative control of Kohlu, Sibi, Bolan, Barkhan, Nasirabad, and Dera Bugti districts of the Baluchistan province.
