Physical properties affect on the losses reducing and quality protection of products at going through of postharvesting process. At this study, the effect of grain moisture content on some physical properties of two varieties paddy grains (<em>Sephidrod and Binam</em>) was investigated. These properties included length, width, thickness, geometrical diameter, mathematical diameter, sphericity, thousand seed weight, bulk density, true volume and true density. The levels of grain moisture content were 10, 14, 18, 22% (w.b.). The results showed that with increasing of grain moisture contain, geometrical diameter, mathematical diameter, area, volume, thousand seed weight, bulk density and true density were increased significantly (p<1%). But true density was decreased. Also Sphericity no verified significantly. .0pt;fC� fm
