Gujrat Division (Punjabi: [ɡʊd͡ʒ'ɾaːt 'ɖɪʋɪ'ʒən]) is an administrative division of Punjab, Pakistan, comprising the districts of Gujrat, Hafizabad, Mandi Bahauddin, and Wazirabad; and headquartered at the city of Gujrat in northern Punjab. With a population of over 7.3 million, it is the least populous of the ten divisions in the province.

It was officially established as the tenth division of the province by the Punjab government on 17 August 2022, with the bifurcation of Gujranwala Division. Initially including the districts of Gujrat, Mandi Bahauddin, and Hafizabad, the newly-established Wazirabad District was added on 14 October 2022, increasing the number of districts in the division to four. The change was made official after a notification issued by the Board of Revenue under section 5 of the Punjab Land Revenue Act 1967. Before this bifurcation, Gujranwala division was among the largest in the province, with a population of approximately 16 million. Ahmad Kamal Maan was notified as the first commissioner of the division and Mohammad Akhtar Abbas will be the Regional police officer (RPO).

Meanwhile, on 15 February 2023 the Punjab caretaker government suspended the notifications of the newly established division of Gujrat, newly created district Wazirabad and three new tehsils in the division.

According to the new notification issued by the Board of Revenue, the notifications of creation of Gujrat Division, Wazirabad District, three new tehsils Jalalpur Jattan and Kunjah in Gujrat District and Alipur Chattha Tehsil in Wazirabad District (newly created) were suspended. According to the new notification, the suspension was valid till the general election in Punjab.

However, on 21 February 2023, Lahore High Court suspended caretaker government's order and revived Gujrat as division.
