Ganda Singh Wala is a village in Kasur District in the Punjab, Pakistan. It lies on the border with India, opposite the Indian village of Hussainiwala, near Firozpur.
The border crossing is now closed. In the 1960s and 1970s it was the principal road crossing between India and Pakistan, but was replaced by the border crossing at Wagah, a little further north. In 2005 there were proposals to reopen the border, but it remained closed.
Since 1970 there has been a daily Retreat Ceremony at the border crossing, similar to the Wagah border ceremony.
The Sutlej River flows by Ganda Singh Wala, and the area is prone to flooding.
The village was named after the soldier Ganda Singh Datt (1830-1903)
