Rachna Doab (Punjabi: رچنا دوآب) can be classified as one of the main regions of Punjab, Pakistan.[1] Punjab historically has been divided into regions based on its various rivers, since the name Punjab is based on its five main rivers.

It lies between 30° 35' and 32° 50' N. and 71° 50' and 75° 3' E. The name was given by the Mughal emperor Akbar, by combining the first syllables of the names of the two rivers.
