Tehranpars or Tehran Pars (in Persian: تهران‌پارس) is a planned city inside the Greater Tehran Area. It is considered a neighbourhood of Tehran City and lies in Tehran's eastern flank inside the area of the 4rth and 8th municipalities of Tehran. Tehranpars has four main squares called 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th falakeh and a metro station named Dardasht. Dardasht is the eastern end-station of Tehran Metro network and Iran's Metro University is situated there.

Tehranpars was built according to a project in the Pahlavi era in order to keep pace with Tehran's rapid growth. The area is populated by people with average income and is surrounded by planted forests of Sorkhe-hesar and Lavizan. The name Tehran Pars literally means "Tehran's Persia".

Some of the Zoroastrian centers of Tehran such as Rostam-bagh and Markar Complex are situated in Tehranpars.

The adjacent neighbourhoods to Tehranpars are Narmak, Qanat Kowsar, Lavizan, Hakimiyeh, Khak-sefid, Javadiyeh, Dowshan-tappeh, Majidiyeh, Shahrak-e Omid and Shemiran-no.
