Swabi District (Pashto: سوابۍ ولسوالۍ) is a district in the Mardan Division of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in Pakistan. It lies between the Indus and Kabul Rivers. Before becoming a district in 1988, it was a tehsil within the Mardan District.[1] 96% of the population speaks Pashto as their first language.[2]

The dominating tribe of Swabi is the Yusufzai, followed by the minor Utmankhel, Ghilzai, Tarakai, Jadoon and Khattak.[3][4]
