Maraveh Tappeh (Persian: مراوه تپّه, also Romanized as Maravehtepe, Marveh Tappeh, and Morāveh Tappeh; also known as Maraveh (Persian: مَراوِه, also Romanized as Marāveh)[3] is a city in the Central District of Maraveh Tappeh County, Golestan province, Iran, serving as both capital of the district and of the county.

At the 2006 National Census, its population was 5,602 in 1,147 households, when it was in the former Maraveh Tappeh District of Kalaleh County.[4] The following census in 2011 counted 7,906 people in 1,664 households, by which time the district had been separated from the county in the establishment of Maraveh Tappeh County.[5] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 8,671 people in 2,072 households.[2]

The town was fully Turkmen in its ethnic composition and Hanafi Sunni Muslim in its religion. But as of late, it has been settled by a growing number of Khurasani Kurds of Shia Islamic religious persuasion. Consequently, the town now has a mixed ethnic and religious population of Sunni Turkmens and Shia Kurds.
