Mehrangiz Manouchehrian (Persian: مهرانگیز منوچهریان; 1906 – 5 July 2000) was an Iranian lawyer, musician, feminist, and appointed Senator.
She was involved in drafting the Family Protection Act - a set of laws extending women's rights in marriage.
Some members of the country's clergy claimed that the Act was not compatible with Islam, espoused loose moral standards and even considered publicly denouncing Manouchehrian as a heretic.
Manouchehrian later resigned her seat in the Senate following a dispute with the Prime Minister Jafar Sharif-Emami.
After Sharif-Emami addressed her in a rude manner during a parliamentary debate, he visited her home and apologised privately.
