Rachna Doab ({{langx|pa|{{Nastaliq|رچنا دوآب}}}}) can be classified as one of the main regions of Punjab, Pakistan.{{Cite book |title=Report on Land and Water Development in the Indus Plain |publisher=U.S. Government Printing Office |others=White House: Department of Interior Panel on Waterlogging and Salinity in West Pakistan |year=1964 |pages=26}} Punjab historically has been divided into regions based on its various rivers, since the name Punjab is based on its five main rivers. Rachna Doab is a Doab or tract of land in the Punjab region, encompassing all the area lying between the Ravi and Chenab Rivers, all the way from the Jammu Division till their confluence in Punjab, Pakistan. It lies between 30° 35' and 32° 50' N. and 71° 50' and 75° 3' E. The name was given by the Mughal emperor Akbar, by combining the first syllables of the names of the two rivers.
