Mehran Modiri (Persian: مهران مدیری; born 7 April 1967) is an Iranian director, actor, comedian, producer, screenwriter, host and singer.

He achieved real stardom with his creation of Pavarchin (Tiptoeing), in which he won numerous awards for directing and starring in the picture.

He tasted success again when he directed and starred in Noghtechin (Ellipsis), and Jayezeye Bozorg (The Grand Prize), which became major hits on television in Iran[citation needed].

Later, he followed Pavarchin's storyline with the making of Shabhaye Barareh which became his most popular television program yet; the show remained incomplete after it was criticized for offending rural people.

He worked in many physical and low-paying jobs as a child and teenager, including carpenter, porter, welder, mechanic, and baker.
