Mirabad (Persian: ميرآباد), also Romanized as Mīrābād,[3] is a city in the Central District of Mirabad County, West Azerbaijan province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[4]

At the 2006 census, its population was 4,502 in 820 households,[5] when it was in the former Vazineh District of Sardasht County. It also served as the administrative center for Gavork-e Nalin Rural District.[6] The following census in 2011 counted 5,430 people in 1,238 households.[7] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 6,000 people in 1,550 households.[2]

In 2022, the district was separated from the county in the establishment of Mirabad County, which was divided into two districts and two rural districts, with Mirabad as its capital and only city.[4]
