Rafsanjan (Persian: رفسنجان) is a city in Iran, in the province of Kerman.

It is Iran's center of pistachio cultivation. It had an estimated population of 134,848 in 2005.*

Rafsanjan is also a major center of carpet production even though the rugs are sold as Kermani rugs rather than Rafsanjani ones. Another large employer are the nearby Sar Cheshmeh copper mines.
