Rehri Goth is a neighbourhood located within Landhi Town in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.

Rehri Goth, located southeast of Karachi, is one of Pakistan's oldest fishing settlements, now integrated into metropolitan Karachi.[3] Positioned along the coastal belt between the eastern outskirts of Korangi Creek and west of Port Muhammad Bin Qasim, Rehri Goth enjoys direct access to the mangrove islands of the Indus River Delta. The settlement boasts an approximate population of 70,000.[4][3] Officially, the land upon which the settlement resides is owned by the Karachi Port Trust.[5]

Rehri Goth is regarded as one of the impoverished neighbourhoods in Karachi.[6][7]
