Qazvin Province (Persian: استان قزوین; IPA: [ɢæzˈviːn] )[a] is one of the 31 provinces of Iran. It is in the northwest of the country, with the city of Qazvin as its capital.[5] The province was carved out of Tehran province in 1993.

At the time of the 2006 National Census, the population of the province was 1,127,734 in 294,305 households.[6] The following census in 2011 counted 1,201,565 inhabitants living in 352,472 households, of whom 68.05% lived in cities and 31.95% in villages.[7] By the time of the most recent census in 2016, the population had risen to 1,273,761 people in 397,165 households.[3]

The province was made a part of Region 1 upon the division of the provinces into 5 regions solely for coordination and development purposes on June 22, 2014.[1]

The majority of people in the northeast of the province, in Alamut, are Mazandarani or Gilaks who speak a dialect of the Mazandarani[8][9][10] or Gilaki language.[11][12] However, other sources claim that the majority of people in Alamut are ‘Tats’.[13][14]
