Baghestan (Persian: باغستان)[a] is a city in Eslamiyeh District of Ferdows County, South Khorasan province, Iran.[4]

At the 2006 census, its population was 2,044 in 628 households, when it was a village in Baghestan Rural District of the Central District.[5] The following census in 2011 counted 2,467 people in 739 households.[6] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 2,704 people in 757 households.
