Firuzeh (Persian: فيروزه) is a city in the Central District of Firuzeh County, Razavi Khorasan Province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.

At the 2006 census, its population was 4,906 in 1,288 households, when it was in the former Takht-e Jolgeh District of Nishapur County). The following census in 2011 counted 5,769 people in 1,575 households, by which time the district had been separated from the county in the establishment of Firuzeh County, with Firuzeh as its capital. The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 5,884 people in 1,740 households.

Firuzeh means "turquoise" in Persian. This city and the city of Bar used to be part of the county of Nishapur though now they have become part of a separated county. These cities are historically part of the Greater Region of the city of Nishapur and its people have daily commute and connections with each other.
