Tapeh Yahya (Persian: تپه یحیی) is an archaeological site in Kermān Province, Iran, some 220 kilometres (140 mi) south of Kerman city, 90 kilometres (56 mi) south of Baft city and 90 km south-west of Jiroft.

A regional survey found a five times larger (10 hectare) unnamed unexcavated site one kilometer from Tepe Yahya, occupied in the VB, IVC (Proto-Elamite), and IVB periods.

Over a thousand steatite pieces belonging to Period IVB were found, indicating local manufacturing.

[13] In the late 4th millennium BC IVC period strata (comparable with levels 14–16 at Susa) a large Proto-Elamite monumental building, occupied for less than a century, was constructed which covered most of the top of the mound.

The researcher noted this is close to the "large cubit" measure used throughout the ancient Near East.

[17][18] A related site is Tal-i Iblis, where early metallurgy has also been attested.

[3] To Period IVC belong twenty seven proto-Elamite tablets that have been recovered from the floor and fill of four rooms.
