Rabat (Persian: ربط), also Romanized as Rabaṭ, is a city in, and the capital of, Rabat District of Sardasht County, West Azerbaijan province, Iran, in the northeastern portion of the county. It serves as the administrative center for Gavork-e Sardasht Rural District.[3] The majority of the people of Rabat speak the Mokryan accent[dubious – discuss] of Kurdish as one of their main languages alongside Persian. It is on the road between Sardasht and Mahabad.

At the 2006 census, its population was 7,987 in 1,607 households, when it was in the Central District.[4] The following census in 2011 counted 12,068 people in 2,965 households.[5] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 15,750 people in 4,030 households.[2]

In 2022, the city was separated from the district in the establishment of Rabat District, which was divided into two rural districts and the cities of Rabat and Nalas.[6]
