The Eshaqvand Dynasty (Persian: اسحاقوندان, romanized: Esḥāqvandān), also known as the Eshaqiyyeh (Persian: اسحاقیه), was a local dynasty ruling in Western Gilan (Bīa-pas), which is west of the Sefid-Rud River. The dynasty survived well into the Safavid period, when both it and its eastern counterpart, the Kar-Kiya, were removed. The Eshaqvand were Shafi'i Sunnis, who claimed descent from the Ashkanids or from Isaac.
