The National Garden of Nishapur (or also: Baghmeli of Nishapur, also Romanized as Bagh-e Meli of Nishapur; Persian:باغ ملی نیشابور lit. 'The national garden of Nishapur') is a historic and a touristic Persian style garden and urban park close to the downtown of Nishapur. This garden is home to the city council of the city and the Nishapur branch of the CIDCA. This garden and the brick made monuments built in its northern entrance of this garden are part of the national heritage list of Iran with the registration number of 13364.[1]

The history of this garden probably dates back to the reign of the Pahlavi dynasty in Iran. The brick made monuments were made by Mohammad Hossein Akhavian [fa], a Persian artisan specialized in brickwork who died on January 11, 2020.[2]
