Khorramabad (also Khorram Abad, Luri: Khurramabad, Persian:خرم آباد Khorram Abād) is the capital of province Lorestan in western Iran. It had an estimated population of 339,759, ethnic Lurs and Laks.

Although not a major tourist destination, it is quite scenic and possesses several attractions, such as 5 Paleolithic cave-dwelling sites. In the city center, a tall citadel called Falak-ol-Aflak (The Heaven of Heavens), a relic of the Sassanid era, is now a nationally popular museum. It is situated in the Zagros Mountains.
