Shahreza (Persian: فارسی, old name Qomsheh) is a town located in the Esfahan Province of Iran.

Shahreza county is located 508 km south to Tehran and about 80km south west to Isfahan and Zard Kooh mountain chain runs from north-west to south-east of the city, enjoying a cold climate. It is an old city which was first named Qomsheh, but later on its name was changed to Shahreza due to the existence there of the shrine of His Holiness Shahreza. The most important tourist attractions are: the Ghandab caves, located south-east of Shahreza, the Poodeh mosque, and Shareza Imamzadeh. Other tourist attractions include the Amin Abad caravanserai, a Safavid dynasty structure in Amin Abad, a village 42 km south of Shahreza.
