Dhok Mughal Pathaan is a village in the Jhelum District of Punjab, Pakistan.

The population of this village is approximately 50 people. Despite its extremely small community, the village is self-sufficient in all basic resources, including electricity, telephone and water. Gas hasn't been provided to the village, even though many strong promises were made by the previous and current political figures.[citation needed]

The history of this village dates back to around 300 years ago, when two brothers from Afghanistan migrated to Punjab. The name of the village reflects the background of the 2 brothers, who were of Pathaan origin and settled in an area of Mughal majority. According to village elders, the village is in its 7th generation.
