Pishkhan (Persian: پيشخان, also Romanized as Pīshkhān)[3] is a village in, and the capital of, Pishkhan Rural District of the Central District of Sowme'eh Sara County, Gilan province, Iran.[4]

At the 2006 National Census, its population was 817 in 243 households, when it was in Kasma Rural District.[5] The following census in 2011 counted 755 people in 254 households.[6] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 607 people in 239 households.[2]

After the census, the village was transferred to the newly established Pishkhan Rural District in the Central District. Taher Gurab Rural District was separated from the district in the formation of Taher Gurab District, which was divided into two rural districts, including the new Abatar Rural District. Likewise, Ziabar Rural District was separated from the district in the establishment of Ziabar District, also divided into two rural districts that included the newly formed Baham Bar Rural District. Neither of the new districts contains a city.[4]
