The United States special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan (SRAP) was a position in the State Department that reported directly to the secretary of state. The Office of the Special Representative's purpose was to coordinate the department's activities in Afghanistan and Pakistan during the War in Afghanistan (2001–2021), in conjunction with increased numbers of troops during the Obama presidency.
Under the Trump administration, it became the position of the U.S. special representative for Afghanistan reconciliation (SRAR). Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad was appointed to the post in September 2018, and stepped down following the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Deputy special representative Thomas West took his place and has served as special representative for Afghanistan since October 20, 2021.
