We present an iterative method to reconstruct the linear-theory initial conditions from the late-time cosmological matter density field, with the intent of improving the recovery of the cosmic distance scale from the baryon acoustic oscillations (BAOs). We present tests using the dark matter density field in both real and redshift space generated from an $N$-body simulation. In redshift space at $z = 0.5$, we find that the reconstructed displacement field using our iterative method are more than 80\% correlated with the true displacement field of the dark matter particles on scales $k < 0.10h\ {\rm Mpc}^{-1}$. Furthermore, we show that the two-point correlation function of our reconstructed density field matches that of the initial density field substantially better, especially on small scales ($< 40h^{-1}\ {\rm Mpc}$). Our redshift-space results are improved if we use an anisotropic smoothing so as to account for the reduced small-scale information along the line of sight in redshift space.
