Shahdadkot is a city in Qambar Shahdadkot District, Sindh, Pakistan, named after the town founder Shahdad Khan Khuhawar. It lies about 51 kilometres northwest of Larkana and 34 kilometres north of Qambar, close to three districts of Balochistan: Khuzdar, Jhal Magsi and Usta Muhammad. It is linked to the M-8 motorway between Gwadar and Ratodero. The city has long been a political stronghold of the Pakistan Peoples Party and was the constituency of the former prime minister Benazir Bhutto. Groundwater in the area has been found contaminated with chemicals and heavy metals, and child HIV cases in Sindh drew an official response in recent years. Heavy monsoon rain in August 2022 flooded villages in the district. The 2023 census counted 120,687 people.
