The Afridi, classically called the Abaörteans, is the name of a Pashtun (or Pathan) tribe from present day Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The Afridis inhabit about 1,000 square miles (3,000 km²) of rough hilly area in the eastern Spin Ghar range, west of the Peshawar valley and east of Nangarhar, covering most of the Khyber Agency, FR Peshawar and FR Kohat in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan.
Their territory include Maidan in Tirah and the Khyber Pass.
Some Afridi clans also inhabit India, namely in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Jammu and Kashmir.
