Shamkan (Persian: شامكان, also Romanized as Shāmkān; also known as Shāhmakān)[3] is a city in, and the capital of, Shamkan District of Sheshtamad County, Razavi Khorasan province, Iran.[4]

At the 2006 census, its population was 2,102 in 541 households.[5] The following census in 2011 counted 2,439 people in 710 households.[6] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 1,882 people in 581 households. It was the largest village in its rural district.[2]

In February 2019, the district was separated from the county to establish Sheshtamad County and divided into two districts, each with two rural districts. The city of Sheshtomad became the new county's capital.[4] The village of Shamkan was later elevated to the status of a city and became the capital of Shamkan District.[7]
