Ali-Akbar Shahnazi (Persian: علی‌اکبر شهنازی) (12 May 1897 – 17 March 1985) was an Iranian musician and master of the tar.

He recorded many pieces with noted vocalists of his time such as Eghbal Azar and Nakisa.

He collaborated with other masters of his time such as Reza Mahjubi (violinist) and Hossein Tehrāni (father of modern tonbak).

Shahnazi comes from a music family called in Persian Khandan-e-Honar, literally meaning "art dynasty".
