Shir Kuh or Shirkuh (Persian: شیرکوه) is a high peak (4,055 m or 13,304 ft) in central Iran about 40 km (25 mi) south-west of the city of Yazd in Yazd province.

[2] Geologically, Shir Kuh is made chiefly of Jurassic granite surrounded by Cretaceous rocks.

This mountain is located in the Sanandaj-Sirjan geological and structural zone.

Sanadaj-Sirjan was subjected to magmatism and metamorphism in the Paleozoic and Mesozoic.

Having a high elevation, Shir Kuh and its neighbourhood have a cold mountain climate although the region is placed in a location that is surrounded by a hot semi-desert climate.
