Qasemabad (Persian: قاسم اباد, also Romanized as Qāsemābād; also known as Qāsemābād-e Pā’īn and Qāsimabad)[3] is a city in, and the capital of, Kalatan District of Bampur County, Sistan and Baluchestan province, Iran.[4] It also serves as the administrative center for Bampur-e Gharbi Rural District.[5]

At the 2006 census, its population was 2,196 in 450 households, when it was a village in Bampur-e Gharbi Rural District of the former Bampur District of Iranshahr County.[6] The following census in 2011 counted 2,073 people in 490 households.[7] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 1,845 people in 467 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] In June 2021, the village of Qasemabad was elevated to the status of a city.
