雷德克里夫線
雷德克里夫線（Radcliffe Line）是於1947年8月17日公佈的印巴分治的分界線。雷德克里夫線是以其設計者西里爾·拉德克利夫，第一代拉德克利夫子爵命名的。
1947年7月15日，英國國會通過了1947年印度獨立法案。在一個月之後，1947年8月15日，法案還規定英屬印度將被分為兩個新的政治實體：印度和巴基斯坦。巴基斯坦是一個伊斯蘭教國家，而印度的大多數人口則信仰印度教。然而，在孟加拉和旁遮普地區，國境的劃分引起了爭執。雷德克里夫線的劃定時間十分短暫，因而並沒有太多收集資料的時間，雷德克里夫本人也從未訪問過印度，在劃定之後也引發了一些糾紛，如吉大港山區。並且同時造成了兩國穆斯林人口和印度教徒的大遷徙。
