Variability in 66 accessions of fababean (Vicia faba L.) was assessed for different agro-morphological and quality parameters. Variability parameters, correlation coefficients, clustering and PCA were performed for yield and its contributing parameters. A very good variability was found in number of branches per plant ranged from 5.4 to 14.4, number of nods per main branch from 10.22 to 26.31, no. of pods in main branch varies from 8.61 to 19.65, 1000-seed weight from 271.69 to 390.31and seed yield per plant varied from 31.32 to 100.3. The protein content (%) of the genotypes varies widely from 26.31 to 31.52. Positive and significant correlation coefficients were also obtained between grain yield and 1000-seed weight (r = 0.33**) and number of pods in main branch (r = 0.01*). Principal Component Analysis shows that PC5 explained 62.8% of the total variance and was most closely associated with number of pods per cluster.
