Arash Derambarsh (Persian: آرش درم‌بخش; born 25 July 1979) is a French editor, author, and debarred lawyer.

[3] In 2008 Derambarsh claimed to have been appointed president of Facebook and wanted to "speak to the world"[4] but it was found to be a gross exaggeration and distortion of reality meant at gaining quick celebrity.

[7] An anonymous Twitter account nonetheless obtained a copy of the manuscript and argued that 95% of the thesis had been plagiarised, and that hundreds of pages did not have any footnotes.

On 10 July 2020, it found that most of the dissertation was plagiarised, that Derambarsh improperly used allegations of confidential information to conceal his offense, and that at least 76% of the thesis was copy and pasted without quotation marks.

The disciplinary section also found that the jury was illegally composed, because it only included one full professor of law instead of the required 50% of the members minimum.

Bruno Dondero, the thesis advisor at University of Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne after Derambarsh was rejected from University of Paris II Panthéon-Assas, told the disciplinary section that all rules had been followed and that the missing mandatory report on the defense (which legally has to be entered into the academic record for a PhD to be valid) was in a computer that had been stolen.

[19] His debut book, Manifeste contre le gaspillage alimentaire is the story of a parliament representative who tries to keep large supermarkets from dumping their usable expired food.
