The Insurgency in Sindh is a relatively low-level insurgency (as compared to other insurgencies in Pakistan) waged by Sindhi nationalists against Pakistan. Sindhi nationalists want to create an independent Sindhi state, often referred to as Sindhudesh.

Sindhi nationalists have allied up with Baloch nationalists to counter Pakistan's security forces. However, the insurgency has never attracted popular support in Sindh, with separatist groups having unorganized leadership and few members.
