Pakistanis in Iran consist of expatriates from Pakistan living in Iran, as well as locally born people with ancestral roots in Pakistan.

According to the Overseas Pakistanis Foundation, their population is estimated at 11,000 in 2004–2005,[2] while a 2023 academic publication put their numbers at 35,000.[3] While many tend to be students, there are a number of white-collar professionals employed in various jobs.

The majority of the population is centred on Tehran and Mashhad.

A large number of Shia Pakistanis make business travel to Europe via Tehran airport because that is the nearest city served by Lufthansa.
