Azargoshnasp fire temple (Persian: آتشکده آذرگشنسب) literally "the Fire of the Warrior Kings", is an ancient Fire temple in West Azarbaijan, Iran.
The site includes the remains of the Zoroastrian fire temple built during the Sassanid. This temple housed one of the three "Great Fires" or "Royal Fires" that Sassanid rulers humbled themselves before in order to ascend the throne. The fire at Azargoshnasp was called ādur Wishnāsp and was dedicated to the arteshtar or warrior class of the Sasanid.
