Chattha (also spelled Chatha) is a politically influential Punjabi Jat clan in western Punjab (modern-day Pakistan) concentrated in the Rachna Doab, particularly around the historical Gujranwala District (which includes modern day Wazirabad and Hafizabad).
The Chatthas, taking advantage of the weakening of the Mughal empire, took over much of Wazirabad District and its environs while also ending tribute payments to the Mughal Governor of Lahore. The Chatthas were also able to beat back the expanding Sikhs on multiple occasions and had a particular rivalry with the Sukerchakia Misl (memorialized in the epic poem, Chatthian di Vaar) who eventually defeated them.
