Barrackpore subdivision, Administrative subdivision in North 24 Parganas, India
The subdivision spans 335 square kilometers along the lower Ganges Delta, encompassing sixteen police stations and multiple municipal towns near Kolkata.

The population of over 3.6 million residents primarily speaks Bengali and English, following Hindu traditions with an 88 percent religious majority.
