Narmashir (Persian: نرماشير, romanized: Narmāshīr)[a] is a city in the Central District of Narmashir County, Kerman province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.

[5] In the middle ages, Narmashir was one of the major cities of Kerman, but it was not at its present location — the ruins at the nearby village of Choghukabad are the most likely candidate for the site of medieval Narmashir.

[6] The medieval geographers al-Muqaddasi, Yaqut al-Hamawi, and Hamdallah Mustawfi described medieval Narmashir as a large and prosperous town on the main trade route connecting Kerman with Sistan.

[6] Merchants travelling between Oman and Khorasan did business here, and there was also a market for Indian goods.

[6] The town was walled, with four gates and a citadel, and there was a congregational mosque built of fired brick.
