Kamranieh (also spelled Kamraniyeh) (Persian: كامرانيه, also Romanized as kāmrānīyeh) is an affluent and luxury neighbourhood located in one of the northernmost parts of Greater Tehran in the area called Shemiran, on the slopes of Alborz mountain range. Kamranieh is known for its luxurious high-rise buildings, costly apartments and massive mansions. Centered on Kamranieh street, the neighborhood lies within Shemiranat County and district one of Tehran municipality.

Along with Farmanieh, Niavaran, Zafaraniyeh and Elahieh, it is now home to the most expensive real estate in Tehran. It is also the home to many Iranian nobles and notables as well as embassies and foreign officials.

The name of Kamranieh is based on the son of Naser-al-din Shah, Kamran Mirza Nayeb es-Saltaneh, who used to own much of the land in the area. Kamranieh was one of the first neighbourhoods in Tehran that was equipped with a telephone system. In addition, the first pet hospital of Iran, Tehran Pet hospital, was established in this neighbourhood in 2004.
