Qalat Rural District (Persian: دهستان قلات) is in Bid Shahr District of Evaz County, Fars province, Iran. Its capital is the village of Qalat,[2] whose population at the 2016 National Census was 872 in 228 households.[3]

The rural district was formed in July 2018 when the former Evaz District was separated from Larestan County in the establishment of Evaz County and divided into two districts of two rural districts each, with the city of Evaz as its capital.[2] The village of Kureh was elevated to the status of a city within the newly established Bid Shahr District.[4]
