Shahan Dasht[1] (Persian: شاهاندشت or شاهان‌دشت‎‎, also Romanized as ShÄhÄn Dasht or Shahandasht), locally known as Shoon Dasht (Mazanderani: شوندشت), is a village in Bala Larijan Rural District, Larijan District, Amol County, Mazandaran Province, Iran.
At the 2006 census, its population was 21, in 9 families.[2] During the summer, the population increases, since many city dwellers from Amol stay in Shahandasht as their summer residence.
The Shahan Dasht waterfall is a natural attraction of the province. The Malek Bahman castle is also a historical castle attracting visitors in the village.
The Persian name Shahan Dasht is composed of the word shah (Persian: شاه‎‎), meaning king , the plural suffix -an (Persian: ـان‎‎) , and the word dasht (Persian: دشت‎‎), meaning field , and hence it literally translates as "field of the kings" in Persian.
