Oghi is a tehsil in Mansehra District, in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. Its territory largely coincides with the Agror Valley, and its headquarters is the town of Oghi. Oghi tehsil was established in 1986. Prior to that, this area was part of Mansehra Tehsil. Oghi Tehsil was formed after a government decision to reorganize tehsils and create new administrative units in the region.

The tehsil is made up of the following union councils: Oghi, Belian, Dilbori, Kathai, Karori, Shamdhara, Shergarh, and Shungli Bandi. ^[2] In August 2017, the three union councils of Darband, Nika Pani and Shanaya were separated into the new tehsil of Darband. ^[3]
