Jamber/Jambar (Urdu: جمبر) is a town in Pakistan. It is divided into two parts by a road: one side is called Jambar Khurd, and the other is Jambar Kalan, also known as the "land of Jaat." Both parts are separate union councils. In early 2024, it was declared a town committee, but shortly after, it reverted to being a Union Council, near Bhai Phero in Punjab, Pakistan. It is part of Pattoki Tehsil in Kasur District.

Jambar has several public facilities, including a basic health unit, post office, high schools for both boys and girls, and a telephone exchange. Two banks, HBL and BOP, operate here. Numerous private educational institutions, owned by individuals, are also present, with Rafiq Model School being a well-known and prominent school. It is affiliated with the Punjab Education Foundation and offers free education to needy students.

Cricket is a popular sport here, along with football, kabaddi, volleyball, and badminton.
