Wadh (Brahui: وڈھ; Balochi: وڈھ, pronounced [ʋəɖʱ]) is an administrative subdivision (tehsil) of Khuzdar District in Balochistan, Pakistan. It is one of ten administrative units comprising both tehsils and sub-tehsils within the district, alongside Aranji, Gresha, Karakh, Khuzdar, Nal, Moola, Ornach, Saroona, and Zehri.
Until 1 March 1974, Wadh was part of the former Jhalawan state. On that date, it was designated as one of the three original tehsils (along with Nal and Khuzdar) upon the establishment of a separate district within Balochistan.
