Thathri is a town and a notified area committee in Doda district in the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir.

The word thathri is derived from 'thath', which locally means a heap of wood or timber collected on the bank of the river Chenab in earlier times.

On 23 July 2014 it was upgraded to Subdivision, and is now divided into five Tehsils as Thathri, Phagsoo, Kahara, Chiralla and Bhela.

It is located along the left bank of Chenab river and National Highway 244 passes through the town.
