Sardrud (; ) is a village in Torkaman Rural District of the Central District in Urmia County, West Azerbaijan province, Iran.
History Sārdārūd was inhabited by 30 Church of the East Christian families in 1877 with no priest or church, according to Edward Lewes Cutts. It was located in the Baranduz District. François Lesné, the Apostolic delegate of the Roman Catholic Church in Iran, recorded that Sārdārūd was looted and burned by Kurds in 1908. A Christian woman from Sārdārūd who had been abducted by a Muslim man from Darbarud in 1910 was eventually returned to Toma Audo, Chaldean Catholic archbishop of Urmia, because she refused to convert to Islam.
