Eran-asan-kerd-Kawad or Iran asan kar(t) Kavad (Middle Persian: 𐭠𐭩𐭫𐭠𐭭𐭠𐭮𐭠𐭭𐭪𐭫𐭪𐭥𐭠𐭲 ʾylʾnʾsʾnklkwʾt, meaning "Kavad made Ērān peaceful") was a Sasanian city founded by Kavad I (r. 488–496, 498–531) in the Hulwan region. It was the capital of a province possibly identical to the Hulwan region and bordering the provinces of Syarazur (Shahrizor) and Garamig. The geographer Josef Markwart placed the city between Adiabene and Garamig. It is mentioned in both Armenian sources and the Middle Persian Šahrestānīhā ī Ērānšahr ("Provincial Capitals of Ērān").
