The Lenkoran uezd[a] or Talysh uezd[b] was a county (uezd) within the Baku Governorate of the Russian Empire, and then of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic and the Azerbaijan SSR until its formal abolishment in 1929.[1][2] The county was located on the southern part of the governorate, bordering Caspian Sea to the east, Javad uezd to the north, and Iran to the southwest.[3] The administrative centre of the county was the city of Lenkoran (present-day Lankaran).
