Teppe Hasanlu or Tappeh Hassanlu(Turkish;Hasanlı Tepesi) (Persian تپه حسنلو) is an ancient archeological site located in the province of West Azarbaijan, in northwest Iran, a short distance southwest of Lake Urmia (former Rezā`īyé).

Hasanlu Tepe is the largest site in the Qadar River valley and dominates the small plain known as Solduz. The site consists of a 25m high central "Citadel" mound surrounded by a low Outer Town, 8m above the surrounding plain. The entire site, once much larger but reduced in size by local agricultural and building activities, now measures about 600m across, with the Citadel having a diameter of about 200 m.[1]

this site is thought to have been inhabited in several stages, the oldest starting from the 6th millennium BCE, and is famous for the Golden Vase found by a team from The University of Pennsylvania led by Robert Dyson, in 1958.
