The province of Lorestan (Persian: ولایت لرستان, romanized: Velāyat-e Lorestān) was a western province of Safavid Iran, corresponding to the present-day provinces of Ilam and Lorestan. It was one of the five velayats (semi-autonomous provinces) of the country, and was thus ruled by a vali ("viceroy", "governor").
