List of Afghan royal consorts

See also: List of monarchs of Afghanistan

This is a list of the consorts of Afghan rulers. Historically, Afghan rulers, being Muslim, may have several wives, and not always a queen consort.

Afghanistan has only intermittently been a republic – between 1973–1992 and from 2001 onwards – at other times being governed by a variety of kings.
