Bastam (Persian: بسطام, also Romanized as Basţām)[3] is a village in, and the capital of, Qarah Zia od Din Rural District[4] of the Central District of Chaypareh County, West Azerbaijan province, Iran.

At the 2006 National Census, its population (as a part of the former Chaypareh District of Khoy County) was 681 in 155 households.[5] The following census in 2011 counted 622 people in 162 households,[6] by which time the district had been separated from the county in the establishment of Chaypareh County.[7] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 447 people in 131 households.[2]

Headed by Wolfram Kleiss, the German Archaeological Institute excavated a Urartean site dating to the 7th cent. BC at Bastam in 1972-1975[8] and 1977–1978.[9]
