Sardar-e Kuchak Ab Anbar is a Qajar-era water reservoir in Qazvin, Iran, constructed in 1814 by Mohammad Hassan Khan, one of two brothers who commissioned similar structures in the city. Built from brick and tile set in mortar, this modest Ab Anbar exemplifies the functional underground cistern architecture developed to store water in the arid Iranian plateau. Designated Iranian National Heritage site number 932, it survives as a testament to early-nineteenth-century hydraulic engineering and the patronage of the Khan family during the Qajar period.
