Kurds in Pakistan (Kurdish: Kurdên li Pakistanê, کوردان له پاکستان, Urdu: پاکستان میں کُرد) comprise people residing in Pakistan who are of Kurdish origin. They are a small population consisting mainly of expatriates and transient migrants, most of whom arrived following the start of the Gulf War in Iraq in 1990.
