The Kalbali (Balochi: کلبالی , Persian: کلبعلی), also called Alizahi (Persian: علیزهی), are a tribe of Baloch people[1] who live in Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan.

In Afghanistan the tribe's primary residence is the village of Juma Khan in the Chakhansur District,[2] and in the Nezar area of the Kang District of Nimroz Province.[3]

Most of the Kalbali tribe speak the Rakhshani dialect of the Balochi language, but Persian and Pashto languages are also spoken.
