Bhutto (Sindhi: ڀُٽو; Urdu: بھٹو) is a Sindhi, Rajput tribe settled in Sindh, Pakistan.

The Bhutto tribe is a Rajput tribe that has been settled in Sindh for over two centuries, occupying part of Balochistan in Kachhi, Sibi, Dera Murad Jamali, Bhag and Mithri, having migrated to Sindh from Jaiselmere in India under Setho Khan Bhutto in the seventeenth century.

Pir Baksh Bhutto founded and settled the ancestral home of the Bhutto family in the village of Garhi Pir Baksh Bhutto. Doda Khan Bhutto, was the head of the family during the reign of the Talpur Dynasty and then during Charles Napier's rule of Sindh and worked to acquire large tracts of land. He is largely responsible for the vast landownership of the Bhutto family, and was described by the British as "the best and most enterprising zamindar in the whole of sindh". Doda Khan had three sons: Khuda Baksh Bhutto (the eldest), Ameer Bakhsh Bhutto and Illahi Bakhsh Bhutto (the youngest). He divided his land up into four parts, one for each son and one for himself. In his will, however, he left his own share of the land with his youngest son, Illahi Baksh Bhutto. Illahi Baksh Bhutto went on to become an Honorary Magistrate of Larkana. He died at the young age of 28, under mysterious circumstances. Sir Shahnawaz Bhutto was Khuda Baksh Bhutto's grandson.

Benazir Bhutto (Sindhi: بينظير ڀٽو; Urdu: بے نظیر بھٹو, pronounced [beːnəˈziːr ˈbʱʊʈʈoː]; 21 June 1953 – 27 December 2007) was a Pakistani democratic socialist who served as the 11th Prime Minister of Pakistan in two non-consecutive terms from 1988 until 1990 and 1993 until 1996. She was the daughter of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, a former prime minister of Pakistan and the founder of the Pakistan People's Party (PPP), which she led.

In 1982, at age 29, Benazir Bhutto became the chairwoman of PPP — a democratic socialist, centre-left party, making her the first woman in Pakistan to head a major political party. In 1988, she became the first woman elected to lead a Muslim state and was also Pakistan's first (and thus far, only) female prime minister. Noted for her charismatic authority and political astuteness, Benazir Bhutto drove initiatives for Pakistan's economy and national security, and she implemented social capitalist policies for industrial development and growth. In addition, her political philosophy and economic policies emphasized deregulation (particularly of the financial sector), flexible labor markets, the denationalization of state-owned corporations, and the withdrawal of subsidies to others. Benazir Bhutto's popularity waned amid recession, corruption, and high unemployment which later led to the dismissal of her government by conservative President Ghulam Ishaq Khan.
