The Baloch tribes (Baloch: بلوچ) live in historical Balochistan, a region encompassing southeastern Iran, southern Afghanistan, and southwestern Pakistan. There are 130 tribes dividing 9 million Baloch people. Some estimates put the figure at over 150 tribes, though estimations vary depending on how subtribes are counted. Violent inter-tribal competition has prevented any credible attempt at creating a nation-state. A myriad of militant secessionist movements, each loyal to their own tribal leader, threatens regional security and political stability.

Pakistan

There are 180,000 Bugti based in Dera Bugti. They are divided between the Rahija Bugti, Masori Bugti, Kalpar Bugti, and Daiga sub-tribes. Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti led the Bugti as Tumandar until his death in 2006. Talal Akbar Bugti was the tribal leader and President of the Jamhoori Watan Party from 2006 until his death in 2015. Brahumdagh Bugti serves as both Bugti tribal chief and head of the Baloch Republican Party.

There are 98,000 Marri based in Kohlo district, who further divide themselves into Bahawalanzai, Chhalgari, Shaheja, Gazni Marri, Bejarani Marri, and Zarkon Marri. Hyrbyair Marri has led the Balochistan Liberation Army since his brother's death in 2007. Another brother, Mehran Marri, leads the United Baloch Army. Both groups are designated terrorist organisations in Pakistan.

The Zehri are based in Zawa, Jhalawan where they are the largest tribe. Sanaullah Zehri, the Chief Minister of Balochistan, is the Zehri's tribal chief. The Zehri have Sasoli and Zarakzai sub-tribes.

The Hooth tribe is led by Abdul Malik Baloch, the last Chief Minister of Baloch.

The Mengal tribe has the Shahizai, Zagar and Samalani sub-tribes. Ataullah Mengal leads the Mengal tribe.
