Mazandaran province (pronunciation^ⓘ, Persian: استان مازندران, romanized: Ostân-e Mâzandarân; Mazanderani: مازِرون اوستان, romanized: Mâzerun Ustâne) is one of the 31 provinces of Iran, located along the southern coast of the Caspian Sea and in the adjacent Central Alborz mountain range, in central-northern part of the country.^[6] The province, founded in 1937, covers an area of 23,842 km².^[7]^[8]

At the time of the 2006 National Census, the province had a population of 2,893,087 in 783,169 households.^[9] The following census in 2011 counted 3,073,943 people in 931,007 households.^[10] At the most recent census in 2016, the population had risen to 3,283,582 in 1,084,798 households.^[3] Mazandaran is one of the most densely populated provinces in Iran.^[11]

The province has diverse natural resources, notably large reservoirs of oil and natural gas.^[12] The diverse natural habitats of the province include plains, prairies, forests and rainforest^[13] stretching from the sandy beaches of the Caspian Sea to the rugged and snowcapped Alborz sierra,^[14] including Mount Damavand, one of the highest peaks and volcanoes in Asia.^[15]

Mazandaran is a major producer of farmed fish,^[16] and aquaculture provides an important economic addition to traditional dominance of agriculture.^[17] Another important contributor to the economy is the tourism industry, as people from all of Iran enjoy visiting the area.^[18] Mazandaran is also a fast-growing centre for biotechnology.^[12]
