Shirabad (Persian: شورآباد) is a village in Shirabad Rural District of Gowhar Kuh District, Taftan County, Sistan and Baluchestan province, Iran, serving as capital of the district.[2]
At the time of the 2006 National Census, the village's population was 693 in 148 households, when it was in Gowhar Kuh Rural District of the former Nukabad District of Khash County.[3] The following census in 2011 counted 525 people in 114 households.[4] The 2016 census measured the population of the village as 751 people in 267 households.

In 2018, the district was separated from the county in the establishment of Taftan County, which was divided into three districts of two rural districts each, with Nukabad as its capital and only city. Gowhar Kuh Rural District was transferred to the new Gowhar Kuh District, and Shirabad was transferred to Shirabad Rural District created in the district.[2]
