Hasht Behesht or Hasht-Behesht (هشت‌بهشت, also romanized as Hašt-Behešt, lit. 'the Eight Heavens') is a 17th-century pavilion in Isfahan, Iran. It was built by the order of Suleiman I, the eighth shah of Safavid Iran, and functioned mainly as a private pavilion. It is located in Isfahan's famous Charbagh Street. It was also the first modern school in Isfahan called His Majesty's School (Madrese Homayouni).
