Under-5 mortality is an important health indicator of a country's development and every country is committed todecrease it. Children under-5 years are vulnerable to the imbalance of socioeconomic inequality and are dependent on the adults toremain healthy. The aim of this study was to determine the association of socioeconomic factors with under-5 mortality in Zabol.  This descriptive cross sectional study was performed on 2001 children younger than 5 years who were under the coverageof Zabol University of Medical Sciences between 2011 and 2015. The data were collected using standard questionnaires on mortality ofinfant and children 1-59 months old, questionnaires determining socioeconomic condition, and health center data files. The analyseswere performed using SPSS software version 21, and significance level was set at 0.05 for all tests.  The most common causes of death under 5 years of age included immaturity, congenital defects, and respiratory diseases. Inthe logistic regression model, father's addiction, maternal literacy, socioeconomic level, and household family size were significantlyassociated with under-5 mortality (P<0.05). Moreover, there was a correlation between a congenital defect in the Zahak region andimmaturity in the Hamun region with under-5 mortality.  Low socioeconomic status, parental addiction, and low education level were the most probable risk factors for under 5mortality.
