Ālāscht (Persian آلاشت ), also Ālāsht or Elāsht, is a small dominantly agricultural village in the administrative district of the province Savādkuh Māzandarān in Iran.

Ālāscht is surrounded by mountains that make for a cooler climate than in most other regions of the province. Ālāscht was known by the former Shah and founder of the Pahlavi dynasty, Reza Pahlavi, who was born here in 1878. At this time the village had less than 1,000 inhabitants.
