is a city in the Central District of Meymeh and Vazvan County, Isfahan province, Iran, serving as capital of the county. It is in the vicinity of the arterial road of Tehran-Isfahan.

== History == ===Ancient history=== Meymeh's significance has largely derived from its position on the route between Isfahan and Tehran. The earliest evidence of the trade routes passing through Meymeh is the presence of two Seljuk-era rebats in the area. One is in Meymeh itself, near a later Mongol-era mosque. The other, now known as Rebat-e Tork, lies further north on the road to Delijan. Originally built as a military outpost, Rebat-e Tork was later converted into a caravanserai.
