Lodi (Pashto; لودهی) is a Pashtun tribe from the Ghilji group of Pashtuns.^[1]^[2] In mythical genealogy, they have also been considered as being part of the Bettani tribal confederacy.^[3] The Lodi tribe consists of many sub-tribes, most of whom are now settled in the Tank, Frontier Region Tank, Lakki Marwat and Dera Ismail Khan districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of modern-day Pakistan.^[4] These tribes were nomadic for most of their existence and migrated to their present-day locations by crossing the Gomal Pass throughout different times in history.^[3]

Two tribes among the Lodi ended up establishing their own empires, the Sur tribe established the Sur Dynasty^[5] and the Prangi tribe established the Lodi Dynasty.^[3]
