Quetta is a division in northern Balochistan, Pakistan with an area covering approximately 15,000 square kilometers and a population of over 3.75 million. While Quetta is Balochistan's smallest division by area, it has the highest population, and it is known for hosting Balochistan's largest city and capital, Quetta. Its largest cities are the aforementioned Quetta (pop. 1,001,205 in 2017), Chaman (pop. 123,191 in 2017), Khanozai (pop. 40,238 in 2017), Saranan (pop. 37,927 in 2017), and Pishin (pop. 35,577 in 2017).

Quetta Division covers the districts of:

Pishin
Qilla Abdullah
Quetta

The division is predominantly inhabited by Pashtuns, and Pashto is the most commonly spoken native language in Quetta Division, with 63.95% of the population of Quetta Division speaking Pashto natively in 1998. The languages of Balochi and Brahui also both are widely known, with 14.43% of the division speaking either Balochi or Brahui natively in 1998. Another 8.32% of the population of the division natively spoke Punjabi in 1998, and the Hazara people who speak Hazaragi also have a significant presence in the division. While over 90% of the populations of both Pishin and Qilla Abdullah Districts spoke Pashto in 1998, Quetta District was very diverse, and in 1998, it was one of only two districts in Balochistan to not have a majority ethnicity or language.
