Anbarabad (Persian: عنبرآباد, also romanized as ‘Anbarābād; also known as Ambārābād)[3] is a city in the Central District of Anbarabad County, Kerman province, Iran, and serves as both capital of the county and of the district. It is located to the southwest of Jiroft, off the Road 91. The local economy is based on agriculture, with extensive fields around the city.

At the 2006 National Census, its population was 18,590 in 3,997 households.[4] The following census in 2011 counted 18,731 people in 4,532 households.[5] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 18,185 people in 5,285 households.[2]

In 2003, Anbarabad became recognized as a sub-provincial unit (county) and separated from Jiroft County which it had been belonged to.[6] Most of the land around Anbarabad is steppe or sandy desert, but there is an extensive strip of fields between the city and the Route 91, indicating an agricultural importance in the area.[7] Some species have been identified which are endemic to the Anbarabad area including those of the subfamily Thaumastellinae of the genus Thaumastella.[8]
