Qataghan-Badakhshan Province (Dari: ولایت قطغن-بدخشان) was a province, located in Afghanistan. The province was originally created in 1890 when the districts of Qataghan and Badakhshan was separated from the Afghan Turkestan province. Administration of the province was assigned to the Northern Bureau in Kabul.[1]
In 1963 Badakhshan included the districts of Baghlan, Pul-i-Khumri, Dushi, Dahan-i-Ghori, Khan Abad, Andarab, Kunduz, Hazrat-i-Imam, and Taloqan. In 1963 Qataghan-Badakhshan Province was abolished and since then the territory was divided into four separate provinces - Badakhshan, Baghlan, Kunduz, and Takhar.[2]
