Havelian Tehsil is an administrative subdivision (tehsil) of Abbottabad District in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.
During British rule, the current district of Abbottabad was created as a Tehsil of Hazara District.[5] After the independence of Pakistan it remained a tehsil of Hazara until 1981, when the old Abbottabad Tehsil became a district. Subsequently, the district was split into two tehsils, namely Abbottabad and Havelian.
