Behtarabad (Persian: بهتراباد)[a] was a village in Gonbaki Rural District of Gonbaki District, Rigan County, Kerman province, Iran.

At the 2006 National Census, its population was 157 in 35 households, when it was in the former Rigan District of Bam County.[4] The following census in 2011 counted 191 people in 49 households, by which time the district had been separated from the county in the establishment of Rigan County.[2]

In October of 2011, the village of Mohammadabad-e Gonbaki merged with the villages of Abbasabad, Aliabad, Behtarabad, Dowlatabad, Hasanabad, and Jannatabad to form the new city of Gonbaki.[5]

In 2023, Gonbaki District was separated from Rigan County in the establishment of Gonbaki County and divided into two districts and four rural districts, with the city of Gonbaki as its capital and only city.[6]
