Fushenjan (Persian: فوشنجان also Romanized as Fūshenjān), also known as Pushtanghan (Persian: پشتنقان) or Pushenjan (Persian: پوشنجان) in the historic sources of The Quarter of Nishapur (Persian: ربع نیشابور) in Khorasan, is a village in Fazl Rural District, in the Central District of Nishapur County, Razavi Khorasan Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 1,457, in 421 families.
This village has been claimed to be the birthplace of Haji Bektash Veli by Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism of Iran and is home to Baktash Archaeological Site of Nishapur which was uncovered by an archeological group led by the archeological department of the University of Neyshabur in an archeological excavation project initiated in the year 2016. This site is part of the Iran National Heritage list with the national registration number of 24383. There is no historical source or record which implies that Bektash was really born in Fushenjan. The cited websites clearly show that the Iranian government invented the place for tourist attraction and missionary activity.
