Spin Boldak or Spin Buldak, is a town belonging to Kandahar province in southern Afghanistan, right next to the Durand Line border with Pakistan. It is linked by a highway with the city of Kandahar to the north and Chaman in Pakistan to the south. Spin Boldak has the second major port of entry between Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is also a major transporting, shipping and receiving site between the two neighboring countries.

The town was the site of a suicide bombing in February 2008 that killed 38 Afghans - see Spin Boldak bombing.

Railway

In May 2007, long-contemplated plans were revived for a rail link from Chaman in Pakistan to Afghanistan and possibly beyond, passing through Spin Boldak.
