Kahak (

Markazi Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 116, in 40 families.[2]

During

Safavid times, the village enjoyed some importance, and was the site of a large caravanserai, now in ruins.[3]

During the late medieval period, the village was the centre of the Qasim-Shahi line of

Kerman Province in the mid-18th century, but Shah Khalil Allah III (1792–1817) re-established himself there shortly into his imamate until 1815, when he moved to Yazd.[3] Kahak was the birthplace of Shah Khalil Allah's son and successor, Aga Khan I, in 1804.[3]
