Gambat (Sindhi: گمبٽ, Urdu: گمبٹ) is a city and capital of Gambat Tehsil, an administrative subdivision of Khairpur District, located in Sindh province of Pakistan. The population in 2017 was 263,000, with 93,000 residing in urban areas and approximately 170,000 living across the entire taluka.

The town was significantly affected by the 2022 floods, resulting in the loss of many lives and substantial economic hardship for both the town and the district. The floods also disrupted the railway line, further impacting the region.

A Hindu temple in Gambat serves as a historical site with over a century of cultural and spiritual heritage. It holds significance for the Hindu community, reflecting their longstanding traditions. The temple was renovated in 2024.

The Pir Abdul Qadir Shah Jeelani Institute of Medical Sciences Gambat is a hospital equipped with advanced machinery for transplants and the treatment of various diseases, making it a prominent healthcare facility in the area.
