Al-Kharkhir (Arabic: الخرخير) was a former governorate in Najran Province, Saudi Arabia. It was abolished in 2014 due to its remote location. Its territory was merged into Sharurah Governorate, and its population was relocated primarily to Al-Ahsa and Sharurah. By 2018, public services in the area had been fully discontinued following the completion of the relocation process. It remains the only governorate in Saudi Arabia to have been officially abolished.
