Hossein Tehrāni (1912 – February 26, 1974) (Persian: حسین تهرانی) was an Iranian musician and tonbak player.

At the age of 13, Tehrāni found a similar type of Zarb Zurkhaneh in a smaller size, which was called tonbak, and began practicing by himself.

[4] In 1940 the first radio station was established in Tehran and Hossein Tehrāni was an active tonbak player accompanying musicians while performing live music programmes.

While playing the tonbak, Tehrāni could imitate the sound of a locomotive and a motorcycle to astonish his listeners.

Tehrāni wrote a book titled Amouzesh Tonbak-ٱموزش تنبك about the style and practice of the tonbak.
