Noghtechin is an Iranian television sitcom. It was broadcast for the first time by the IRIB in 2003 and 2004.

It is also noted that Noghtechin holds the distinction of receiving the most money from advertising of any Iranian show, thanks largely to constant sponsorship by Samsung, which is featured prominently in Mr. Pirdoost's store. Many of the actors in Noghtechin are reused in other Modiri productions.
