The districts of Afghanistan are, after the provinces, the second level of administrative subdivisions in Afghanistan.
The number of districts (woleswali) in Afghanistan has fluctuated over the years, with new districts created by splitting or merging parts of others. Prior to 1979, there were 325 districts. This was increased to 329, and in 2004 a major reorganistion led to the number increasing to 397. As of June 2005, the Afghan Ministry of the Interior recognised 398 districts, divided between the 34 provinces. This number is expected to change with further administrative reorganisation.
