Kāzerūn, town, southwestern Iran. It is situated on a plain among high limestone ridges on the north-south trunk road. The town is extensive, with well-built houses. It is surrounded by date palms, citrus orchards, and wheat and tobacco fields; rice, cotton, and vines also are grown.

The ruins of the ancient city of Bishāpūr (or Shāhpūr), which are situated 12 miles (19 km) north, have Sāsānid (c. ad 224–651) bas-reliefs and, in a lofty cave, a statue of Shāpūr I (ad 241–272). Southeast of Kāzerūn on a high mound are the ruins of Qalʿeh-ye Gabri (“Castle of the Ghebars [Zoroastrians]”). Pop. (2006) 87,326.
