Field Marshal Bahram Aryana (Persian: بهرام آریانا); also spelled Bahram Ariana born Hossein Manouchehri; 17 March 1906 – 21 June 1985) was the most senior military commander of the Imperial Iranian Army during the reign of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and an Iranian nationalist and humanist. Professor Monica M. Ringer described Aryana as probably the most famous "converted Zoroastrian" of the Pahlavi era.
