Farhad Hasanzadeh (Persian: فرهاد حسن‌زاده; born 9 April 1962) is an Iranian author and poet known for his children's and adolescent literature.

Hasanzadeh has published more than 120 books for children and young adults, including novels, short stories, legends, fantasy, humour, biography and poetry.

The workshops culminate in a monthly virtual publication called Moon Children,[11] where participants can showcase their work and share it with an audience.

His characters are sometimes marginalised, and he often addresses social taboos such as rape and sexual abuse, subjects rarely covered in other Persian novels.

[22] Hasanzadeh was among the top 6 writers selected for Hans Christian Andersen Award and brought its appreciation plate back to his home country of Iran.

[23] In June 2022, he was nominated to receive the 2023 Astrid Lindgern Memorial Award,[24] partly due to paying attention to the issues of society, such as girls and modern femininity in today's world, addressing universal human values such as peace, friendship and children's rights, looking at war from different aspects and also the environment.
