The Chamkani (Pashto: څمکني tsamkanī), is a sub-tribe of Ghoryakhel Pashtuns.
According to Muhammad Hayat Khan, author of Hayat-i-Afghani (Afghanistan and its Inhabitants) Chamkani are descendants of Ibrahim Ghoria.
The Chamkani people continued to live in Waziristan when the Khattaks relocated to the districts of Karak and Kohat.
The tribe then moved to northern slopes of Mount Sikaram, where their neighbours were Afridis to the east, Orakzai on the east and south-east, Turis on the west and south-west and Shinwari on the north at Spīn Ghar.
They took part in the frontier battles 1897, and during the Tirah campaign of that year a brigade under General Gaselee was sent to punish them.
