The Khojak Tunnel (Urdu: خوجک سرنگ, Khojak Sarang), is a 3.91 km (2.43 mi) railway tunnel in the Toba Achakzai range in the Qilla Abdullah District of Balochistan province, Pakistan.[1] It is located 1,945 m (6,381 ft) above sea level.[1] The tunnel was constructed in 1891 under the Khojak Pass, and was featured on the old Five Rupee banknote.[2]

The tunnel is one of the longest tunnels in South Asia, and was the longest in Pakistan until superseded by the 8.75 km (5.44 mi) Lowari Tunnel in 2018.
