Badrashin (Arabic: البدرشين) is a city, and capital of the eponymous markaz (county), in Giza Governorate, Egypt.[1]

Badrashin County is the site of Ancient Egypt's royal capital, Men-nefer (Memphis). While much of the actual city is now buried under modern villages, its royal tombs and pyramids, the Memphite Necropolis, is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site.
