The Afghan ambassador to Pakistan is the top-level diplomatic representative of Afghanistan in Pakistan. The ambassador is in charge of the Afghan embassy in Islamabad. It is politically an important Afghan diplomatic post, due to the Afghan–Pakistani bilateral relations, both countries being neighbours and Pakistan facilitating overland transit trade for a landlocked Afghanistan.
