The Garachi (Azerbaijani: Qaraçı; Kurdish: Qereçî), also spelled Karachi or Karaci, are a group of the Dom people living in Azerbaijan and Turkey. Little research has been done on the Garachi, and most of what is known about them is based on the works of the 19th-century Russian scholars Kerope Patkanov and Jean-Marie Chopin.[2]

The term Garachi is sometimes used to describe the Domari-speaking people of northern Iran, The confusion is explained by the fact that both groups live in the regions populated mostly by Azeri-speakers who apply the word Garachi to medieval collective migrants from Karachi from Sindh.
