Shahbandar (Urdu: شاہ بندر, romanized: Shāhbandar) is a historical port town in Sujawal District, Sindh, Pakistan. During its heyday in the late 1700s, Shahbandar reportedly was home to as many as 50,000 people,[3] but it soon lost its port access and went into a steep decline.[4][5]

As of 2017, Shahbandar has a population of 362, in 100 households.[2] Shahbandar is also the name of one of the talukas in Sujawal district.[2]
