Kuchis are an ethnic group of nomads in Afghanistan. They represent an estimated six million of Afghanistan's 25 million people. The group is singled out by the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan as one of the largest vulnerable populations in the country. Hashmat Ghani Ahmadzai is their ethnic leader.

Provisions are written into the Afghanistan Constitution (Article 14) aimed at improving the welfare of Kuchis, including provisions for housing, representation and education.
