The Dalbandin Rifles is a paramilitary regiment forming part of the Pakistani Frontier Corps Balochistan (South). It is named after the town of Dalbandin in Chagai District, Balochistan, Pakistan. The Rifles have a 2020/21 budget of Rs. 1.137 billion[1] and are tasked with defending part of the border with Afghanistan and assisting with law enforcement in the districts adjacent to the border.

The regiment was involved in controversy in August 2019 when a major was jailed for bribery in relation to a missing persons case.[2]
