Bandar-e Anzali (Persian: بندر انزلی), known as Bandar-e Pahlavi (Persian: بندر پهلوی) before the Iranian Revolution, is a harbour town on the Caspian Sea, in the Iranian province of Gilan, close to Rasht. Bandar Anazali has a population of around 150,000.

Tourist attractions include the clock tower (Manareh), the long harbour promenade and the water-logged delta of the Sefid River, especially the beach there.

Bandar Anzali is the most important seaport in the north of Iran.

It consists of a main island "Mianposhteh" and the lands around it.

It is the place where the Anders Army landed April 1, 1942 after evacuating from the USSR. The Polish cemetery was created in that year.
