Shemshak (Persian: شمشک)[3] is a city in Rudbar-e Qasran District of Shemiranat County, Tehran province, Iran. A suburb of Tehran, Shemshak was established upon the merger of the former villages of Darband Sar, Darrud, Jirud, Sefidestan, Shemshak-e Bala, and Shemshak-e Pain.[4]

At the 2006 census, its population (as the total of its constituent villages before the merger) was 2,383 in 702 households, when it was in Rudbar-e Qasran Rural District.[5] The following census in 2011 counted 1,901 people in 644 households.[6] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 3,423 people in 1,197 households,[2] by which time the villages had merged and Shemshak was elevated to the status of a city.[4]
