Bäherden,[3] formerly Baharly (2003-2018), is a city and the seat of Baherden District, Ahal Province, Turkmenistan.

It lies on the northern rim of the Kopet Dag mountain range, south-east of the resort village of Archman.

According to Atanyyazow, some archaeologists have related it to a village called Abhadaran, located 3 to 4 kilometers northeast of Bäherden, but local greybeards interpret it as deriving from Bahrizen ("the lake of your wife") and Maharram (the name of the queen of a one-time chief of Durun).

According to former President Niyazov, Turkmens, during the times of Oghuz Khagan, spent springtime in the area.

At the end of the 19th century, it housed 789 people and was a stop along the Trans-Caspian Railway.
