Dhoke Khabba (literally meaning "The Town on the Left") is a neighborhood and a Union Council of Rawalpindi City located in the heart of Rawalpindi City, in close proximity to Murree Road and next to Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Noor Khan Base. It has many old homes from the pre-partition era of the Indian subcontinent. The nearest main bus stop is Committee Chowk. Noorani and Chup Shah are famous mosques.

Although many college-level educational institutes are present in close proximity of this area, the literacy rate here remains quiet low. Most of the people here manage their own small businesses, and some of them are living abroad i.e., in Australia, UK, Sweden, Germany, Dubai, and Saudi Arabia.

Dhoke Khabba has a famous Sunday market (Itwar Bazaar) near the old Kahakshan cinema. Famous adjacent areas are Dhoke Farman Ali, Dhoke Elahi Baksh, Arya Mohallah.
