The Afzalids, also known as the Afzalid dynasty, were a significant political group in Afghanistan primarily founded on the belief that Mohammad Afzal Khan was the successor of Dost Mohammad Khan after his death on 9 June 1863. It lasted until the death of the last Afzalid ruler Abdur Rahman Khan on 1 October 1901.
