Ferdows County (Persian: شهرستان فردوس) is a county in the north of South Khorasan Province in Iran. The capital of the county is Ferdows. The population of this county is about 40,000. Ferdows County, which was formed in 1944, originally included a large area (more than 78,000 km2) but its subdivisions have gradually become independent and now encompasses four counties (Ferdows, Tabas, Sarayan and Boshruyeh). After dividing the Khorasan province into 3 provinces, Ferdows County was initially a part of Razavi Khorasan province, but was incorporated within the borders of South Khorasan Province in March 2007.
