Marvdasht () is a city in the Central District of Marvdasht County, Fars province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.
== Etymology == Some historians hold that Marvdasht was originally the name of one of the neighborhoods of the ancient city of Estakhr, until gradually the whole area was called Marvdasht. Others have argued that marv was the name of a plant which grew in the area and the suffix dasht (meaning plain in the Persian language) was added to form a descriptive placename.
