Harappa is a city in Punjab, northeast Pakistan, located beside a former course of the Ravi River; about 35km southwest of Sahiwal.

The modern town is built beside the remains of an ancient fortifed city, which was part of the Cemetery H and the Indus Valley Civilization. The city existed from about 3300 BC until 1600 BC. The town was believed to have as many as 40,000 residents, large for a city of its time.
