Palayeshgah Metro Station is a station in Tehran Metro Line 1.[1] It is located near Tehran Refinary, a town near Shahr-e-Rey on the southern outskirts of Tehran. It is between Shahed - Bagher Shahr Metro Station and Shahr-e-Rey Metro Station.

The station was formerly called Bagher Shahr but the name was changed, along with the name of Shahed - Bagher Shahr Metro Station, formerly known simply as Shahed, on 26 August 2017.[2] The reason was that this station, even-though named after the town Baqershahr, it is 3.3km (02.1miles) away from town limit, but only 1km (01miles) away from Tehran Refinery, after which it is now named. Whereas the other station is only 0.8km (00.5miles) away from the city limit, even though it wasn't named after it.
