Bakhtiari carpets are one of the major art forms of the Bakhtiari people located in Chaharmahal Bakhtiar Province of Iran. Originally woven by nomadic Bakhtiari tribes, today the most authentic Bakhtiari carpets are woven by settled Bakhtiari communities in Chaharmahal Bakhtiar Province southwest of Isfahan and in parts of Isfahan, Lorestan and eastern Khuzestan.

These carpets are made from strong, durable wool and are named after the Bakhtiari nomads who live in the Zagros Mountains near the city of Isfahan. They are among the most durable Persian carpets, woven from thick wool that makes them less likely to deteriorate. Although they do not contain the fine, soft cork wool of other Persian carpets, their durability makes them suitable for everyday use.

Many Bakhtiari carpets have garden-inspired motifs, with designs of natural plants and animals in the so-called "Chesti" pattern, inspired by typical Persian gardens, and sometimes with patterns similar to those from the Isfahan region. These carpets are often used in the entryways and hallways of Iranian homes.
