Shahed - Baghershahr Metro Station is a station in Tehran Metro Line 1. It is between Haram-e Motahhar Metro Station and Palayeshgah Metro Station. It is located north of Behesht-e Zahra beside Northern Behesht-e Zahra Expressway.
The station was formerly called Shahed, but the name was changed, along with the name of Palayeshgah Metro Station, formerly known simply as Baghershahr on 26th August 2017. . The reason was that this station, eventhough not named after the town Baqershahr, is only 800 m away from the city limit, whereas the other station is 3.3 km away from town limit, but only 1 km away from Tehran Refinery, after which it is now named.
