Kanraj, also spelled as Kanrach, (Brahui: کنراج, [ˈkanraːdʒ]) is a village and union council serving as the administrative centre of Kanraj Tehsil in Lasbela District, Balochistan, Pakistan. Situated approximately 125 kilometres northeast of Winder, the village lies within a remote valley within the Kirthar Mountains known for its significant mineral wealth.
Notably, the Duddar mine, located a few kilometres to the south, hosts one of Pakistan's largest lead and zinc extraction operations. Due to the presence of this strategic resource, access to the Kanraj Valley is restricted.
