Bugti Hills are a range of hills in eastern Balochistan, Pakistan. It includes the tribal tract called Bugti country.

In 2001, a thirty-million-year-old Oligocene-era fossil tooth from the Bugti Hills of central Pakistan was identified as from a lemur-like primate, prompting controversial suggestions that the lemurs may have originated in Asia.[1][2]
