Safiabad (Persian: صفی‌آباد, also Romanized as Safīābād)[3] is a city in the Central District of Bam and Safiabad County, North Khorasan province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[4] It formerly served as the administrative center for Safiabad Rural District,[5] until its capital was transferred to the village of Alast-e Olya.[4]

At the 2006 census, its population was 3,047 in 885 households, when it was in the former Bam and Safiabad District of Esfarayen County.[6] The following census in 2011 counted 3,527 people in 995 households.[7] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 3,427 people in 1,020 households.[2]

In February 2023, the district was separated from the county in the establishment of Bam and Safiabad County, which was divided into two districts of two rural districts each, with Safiabad as its capital and only city.[4]
