The 46th Punjabis were an infantry regiment of the British Indian Army.

It was designated as the 46th Punjabis in 1903 and became 10th (Training) Battalion of 16th Punjab Regiment in 1922.

It was composed of Punjabi Muslims, Pathans and Sikhs.

Subsequent to the reforms brought about in the Indian Army by Lord Kitchener in 1903, the regiment's designation was again changed to 46th Punjabis.

During the First World War, the regiment initially served on the North West Frontier of India, and took part in the Mohmand Blockade of 1915-16 and in operations against Mahsuds in Waziristan in 1917.
