Shahbaz Garhi, or Shahbazgarhi, is a village and historic site located in Mardan District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. It is at an altitude of 293 metres (964 feet).

It is about 12 km from Mardan city. It has mountains, green trees, open fields and a small river in the centre of the village.

In olden times all these facilities made it attractive for the armies and travelers to set up (install) their tents here, stay for a few days and make their further strategy. The historic Stones of Ashoka (commonly known to the native people by the name of Hkule Gutt), and other sites like Mekha Sanda (female buffalo,male buffalo) are worth visiting.
