The Kurds of Khorasan or Khorassani Kurds (Kurdish: Kurdên Xorasanê‎, Persian: کردهای خراسان‎‎) are Kurds native to northeastern Iran, across the Iran-Turkmenistan border. They inhabit much of North Khorasan province, northern and northwestern parts of Razavi Khorasan province, as well as parts of Golestan province. They speak a Kurmanji dialect of Kurdish and are mostly adherents of Shia Islam. The population of Khorasani Kurds is about half a million, some 400 thousand of which live in Razavi Khorasan and the rest in North Khorasan.
