Zarnaq (Persian: زرنق), also known as Zaraq, Zarnā, and Zerna,^[3] is a city in the Central District of Heris County, East Azerbaijan province, Iran.

Sixty-five-hundred-year-old settlements and ancient objects have been discovered in the ancient hill of Dozdeh Baghir Zaranq.^[4]

This city was ruined before the migration of Turks to Azerbaijan, and around the 11th century, a population of Kipchak Turks settled in its outskirts, who are considered the ancestors of the current residents of this city.^[5]

At the 2006 census, its population was 4,766 in 1,132 households.^[6] The following census in 2011 counted 5,713 people in 1,548 households.^[7] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 5,343 people in 1,649 households.^[2] The city's inhabitants are from Kipchak and Oghuz Turks and speak Azerbaijani Turkic.^{[citation needed]}
