Bahman Forsi (; born 1 February 1934) is an Iranian Azerbaijanis playwright who was born in Tabriz but immigrated to Tehran when he was four years old. At first he worked for newspapers and wrote several poems, short stories and reviews; he started to write plays afterwards. His first play was The Vase (1960). He was influenced by European absurdist theater, and therefore attempted to use a completely new language in his plays, described as novel for Iranian drama in the 1960s.
