Markazi province (Persian: استان مرکزی)[a] is one of the 31 provinces of Iran. Its capital is the city of Arak.[4]
The present borders of the province date to 1977, when the province was split into the current Markazi and Tehran provinces, with portions being annexed by Isfahan, Semnan, and Zanjan provinces. In 2014 the province was placed in Region 4.[5]
