Shahed - Bagher Shahr Metro Station is a station in Tehran Metro Line 1. It is between Haram-e Motahhar Metro Station and Palayeshgah Metro Station. It is located north of Behesht-e Zahra beside Northern Behesht-e Zahra Expressway.

The station was formerly called Shahed, but the name was changed, along with the name of Palayeshgah Metro Station, formerly known simply as Baghershahr on 26 August 2017.[1] The reason was that this station, even though not named after the town Baqershahr, is only 0.8 km (0.50 mi) away from the city limit, whereas the other station is 3.3 km (2.1 mi) away from town limit, but only 1 km (0.62 mi) away from Tehran Refinery, after which it is now named.
