Marichgan (Persian: مريچگان, also Romanized as Marīchgān and Marīchkān; also known as Mīr Bajgān, Marjekān, Merījgān, and Mirījgān)[3] is a village in, and the capital of, Radkan Rural District of Radkan District, Chenaran County, Razavi Khorasan province, Iran.[4]

At the 2006 National Census, its population was 198 in 51 households, when it was in the Central District.[5] The following census in 2011 counted 111 people in 31 households.[6] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 233 people in 67 households.[2]

In August 2019, the rural district was separated from the district in the establishment of Radkan District and Seyyedabad District, each of which was divided into two rural districts.[4]
