Pakhribas (Nepali: पाख्रीबास नगरपालिका) is an urban municipality that is one of the three urban municipalities located in Dhankuta District of Province No. 1 in Nepal. The municipality was established on 2 December 2014 as a merger of the VDCs of Pakhribas namely Sanne, Phalate, Ghorlikharka and Muga.
When the Government of Nepal decided to reduce the local level body in 753 units, all previous VDCs nullified and merged with existing municipalities (some instead created new municipalities), so Chungmang VDC merged with Pakhribas on 10 March 2017.
The total area of the municipality is 144.29 square kilometres (55.71 sq mi) and the total population of the municipality is 22,078 as of the 2011 Nepal census. The municipality is divided into a total of 10 wards.
