Lapui (Persian: لپوئي, also Romanized as Lapū’ī; formerly known as Kaleh-ye Lāpū’ī and Qal‘eh-i-Lapūi - both meaning "Fort Lapui")[3] is a city in the Central District of Zarqan County, Fars province, Iran,[4] and serves as the administrative center for Zarqan Rural District.[5]

At the 2006 census, its population was 4,975 in 1,333 households, when it was in the former Zarqan District of Shiraz County.[6] The following census in 2011 counted 6,924 people in 2,000 households.[7] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 8,985 people in 2,761 households.[2]

In July 2018, the district was separated from the county in the establishment of Zarqan County, which was divided into two districts of two rural districts each, with the city of Zarqan as its capital.[4]
