The Sasoli (Balochi: ساسولی) are a Baloch tribe in Balochistan province of Pakistan. They are considered to be part of the Zehri tribe.^[1]

The forefathers of the Sasoli are Sardar Mir Sirajuddin Sasoli; Sardar Nasrullah Khan, the chief of Sasoli tribe; Sardar Allah Gul Khan Sasoli sarlat; and Mir Meerka Khan Sasoli. According to tribal tradition, the Sasoli migrated from Aleppo, in modern Syria, along with other Baloch tribes. According to ethnologists and linguists, however, the Baloch, including Sasoli, originated from the Caspian Region, potentially from Balasagan.

The tribe has many branches including Allah Dadzi, Zarrenzi, Baloli and Alam Khanzi. It is the second largest Balochi tribe by population.

Many Sasoli are bilingual, speaking the Balochi and Brahui languages.

Sasoli people can also be found in the Karachi Sindh, Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces of Pakistan. The Sasoli also have heredity lands in Iran, Afghanistan, and India.
