Ghāzī Amānullāh Town (Pashto: غازي امان الله ښارګوټی‎), also known as Ghazi Amanullah Khan City, is a fully planned modern suburb on the southeastern fringe of Jalalabad in Nangarhar Province, Afghanistan.

The town is named after Amanullah Khan, who was the modernizing Emir of Afghanistan from 1919 to 1929. His mausoleum is in Jalalabad.

The developers are the importing and distribution company Najeeb Zarab Limited. Construction began on vacant land in 2008. When the town is complete it will include shops, mosques, schools, parks and canals, all connected by broad tree-lined streets.[1]

The developers set aside land for the construction of Ghazi Amanullah International Cricket Stadium, which now hosts regular cricket matches.
