Mohammadan (Persian: محمدان), formerly Mohammadabad (Persian: محمداباد, also Romanized as Moḩammadābād; also known as Mohammad Abad Bampoor),[3] is a city in the Central District of Bampur County, Sistan and Baluchestan province, Iran.[4]

At the 2006 census, its population was 7,249 in 1,371 households, as the village of Mohammadabad in Bampur-e Sharqi Rural District of the former Bampur District, Iranshahr County.[5] The following census in 2011 counted 8,193 people in 1,863 households,[6] by which time it had risen to the status of a city and renamed Mohammadan.[7] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 10,302 people in 2,550 households.[2]

In August 2017, the district was separated from the county in the establishment of Bampur County, which was divided into two districts of two rural districts each, with the city of Bampur as its capital.[4]
