Fariba Adelkhah (born 25 April 1959) is a French-Iranian anthropologist and academic at Sciences Po who was detained in Iran from 2019 until 2023.

[2] She is a member of the scientific council of the periodical Iranian Studies and of Revue des mondes musulmans et de la Méditerranée.

The Iranian Human Rights website Gozaar stated that she had been arrested by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and was being detained at Evin Prison.

Although Adelkhah is French-Iranian, Iran does not recognise this dual citizenship, and so continues to deny her access to French consular services.

Sciences Po is in contact with the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs to campaign and raise awareness for Adelkhah's release.
