Khahan (Template:Lang-fa)/(Template:Lang-tg) is the name of a district, a fort and a town in Badakhshan Province in north-eastern Afghanistan. They are all located on the left bank of the Panj River, sub-regions of Darwaz.
The fort is made of mud, in the shape of a square with three bastions on each face, with a capacity of 500 to 600 individuals. It is similar to most other forts in the area. For about two miles in each direction is cultivated land.
The village contained roughly 160 houses around the turn of the 20th century.
