This is a list of terrorist incidents in Lahore since 2000.
Context Terrorist incidents in major Pakistani cities, including Lahore, rose post the Afghanistan war, peaked between 2008 to 2015 and declined after 2015-2017 operations. The implementation of frameworks like the National action plan in 2015, helped to curb terrorism nationwide to a great extent. This incorporated large-scale military offensives like Zarb-ul-azb and Radd-ul-Fasaad that played a major part in dismantling militant networks and deterring such attacks. Terrorism across Pakistan fell in 2019, however, it rose sharply following the fall of Kabul. This caused a resurgence of terrorism in Pakistan, concentrated in the provinces of KPK and Balochistan, mostly away from major cites, like Lahore.
