Kharanaq () is a village in Robatat Rural District of Kharanaq District, Ardakan County, Yazd province, serving as capital of both the district and the rural district. Kharanaq is 70 km north of the city of Yazd.
== History == Kharanaq means "birthplace of the sun" and has been continuously inhabited for 4,500 years. It is divided into two parts; the Old Town, with its collection of mud brick buildings and a caravanserai, and the New Town, where more than 400 people continue to live. Kharanaq was prosperous in farming, but with the water supply drying up, the inhabitants left, leaving the old town in ruin.
