This article lists the Wazirs of the Durrani Empire beginning from its rise in 1747 and ending with the empire's fall in 1823. The list also includes the brief interlude of Shah Shujah Durrani from 1839 to 1842.

## History

The Durrani Empire was formed in 1747 following the death of Nader Shah. The empire was founded by Ahmad Shah Durrani, who began expanding the empire in all directions. Ahmad Shah would expand into Khorasan, Punjab, and India. During this period of time, they would establish Wazirs, similar to the Ottoman Empire. Wazirs would often change with different rulers, especially during the succession crisis amongst Timur Shah Durrani's sons. The killing of Wazir Fateh Khan by Mahmud Shah Durrani led to the collapse of the Durrani Empire. Shah Shuja Durrani would be restored in 1839 in the First Anglo-Afghan War, but he was eventually deposed and killed in 1842.
