Kuhpayeh (Persian: كوهپايه‎, also Romanized as Kūhpāyeh and Koohpayeh; also known as Kūh Pā and Qohpayeh)[2] is a city and capital of Kuhpayeh District, in Isfahan County, Isfahan Province, Iran. At the 2011 census, its population was 4,587, in 1,335 families.[3]

Kuhpayeh is a historic city that located in 70 kilometres (43 mi) east of Isfahan.

The word "kuhpayeh" means "the foot of mountain" or " the base of mountain" and there are several cities and villages across Iran named "Kuhpayeh". The stoning of Soraya Manutchehri, a 35-year-old woman accused of adultery, happened in a village with the same name, not in this city.[4]

Kuhpayeh has a distinct dialect, known as "Gazi language" in some sources, which belongs to the north-western Iranian languages.
