Bab Anar (Persian: باب انار)[a] is a city in the Central District of Khafr County, Fars province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[4] It was the capital of Khafr Rural District[5] until its capital was transferred to the village of Zarjan.[4]

At the 2006 National Census, its population was 1,702 in 445 households, when it was in the former Khafr District of Jahrom County.[6] The following census in 2011 counted 6,968 people in 2,096 households.[7] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 7,061 people in 2,230 households.[2]

In 2019, the district was separated from the county in the establishment of Khafr County, which was divided into two districts and six rural districts, with Bab Anar as its capital.[4]
