Uruzgan (Pashto: اروزګان; Persian: اروزگان), also spelled as Urozgan or Oruzgan, is one of the thirty-four provinces of Afghanistan. Uruzgan is located in the center of the country. Tarinkot serves as the capital of the province.
In 2004, the new Daykundi Province was carved out of an area in the north.
In 2006, however, Gizab District was taken back from Daykundi and re-annexed to Uruzgan, becoming the province's sixth district.
Note: the Openstreetmap borders currently used on Mindat do not include Gizab district, which was transferred in 2004 from Uruzgan Province to Daykundi Province, but then re-annexed to Uruzgan in 2006.
Today Uruzgan borders the provinces of Kandahar, Daykundi, Ghazni, Zabul and Helmand.
Uruzgan covers an area of 12,640 square kilometres (1,264,000 ha). Much of the province is mountainous or semi-mountainous terrain, while the rest of the area is made up of flat land.
