Maraveh Tappeh (Persian: مراوه تپّه, also Romanized as Maravehtepe, Marveh Tappeh, and Morāveh Tappeh; also known as Maraveh (Persian: مَراوِه, also Romanized as Marāveh)^[2] is a city and capital of Maraveh Tappeh County in Golestan Province, in northern Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 5,602, in 1,147 families.^[3]

The town was fully Turkmen in its ethnic composition and Hanafi Sunni Muslim in its religion. But as of late, it has been settled by a growing number of Khurasani^{[disambiguation needed]} Kurds of Shia Islamic religious persuasion. Consequently, the town now has a mixed ethnic and religious population of Sunni Turkmens and Shia Kurds.
