Jiroft is a city in Kerman province, Iran. It is located 230-kilometres south of the city of Kerman, and 1,375-kilometres south of Tehran. Its population is 209,746. In the past it was also called Sabzewaran, and on account of its being very fertile land it is famous as Hend-e-Koochak (the little India).

Jiroft is located in a vast plain, Halil Rud, on the southern outskirts of the Bariz mountain chain, surrounded by two rivers. The mean elevation of the city is about 650-metres above sea level. The weather of the city is very warm in summer and temperatures are moderate in winter. It is one of the hottest places in Iran and the world, with a recorded temperature of 120 °F (49 °C) in September 1933.

The name "Jiroft" has recently become known in archaeological circles, after Iran's Cultural Organisation announced the discovery of remains from an ancient city buried near the current city of Jiroft, leading to theories proposing the remains belong to a forgotton culture known as the Jiroft civilization.
