Seyed Karim Amiri Firuzkuhi (Persian: سید کریم امیری فیروزکوهی), with the nom de plume, "Amir", was a renowned Iranian poet.

His ancestors had been governors and military commanders from the reign of Karim Khan to the end of the Qajar rule, so that their names all included the title of amir, meaning emir or king.

Amir Muhammad Husayn Khan Sardar is historically noted for receiving the Legion of Honor from France for his translation and implementation of the Belgian military doctrine in Iran as well as the successful siege of Herat in the course of a campaign.

At the age of 28, Karim turned to the traditional sciences, studying six years with Shaykh 'Abd al-Nabi Kujuri, Sayyid Husayn Kashani, Sayyad Kazim 'Assar, Mirza Khalil Kamara'i, and Sayyid Mahmud Imam'i Jum'a with whom he studied Arabic literature, logic, theology, Islamic jurisprudence and the principles of Shi'ite doctrine, and mastered the writing and prose and the composition of poetry in Arabic.

Karim came to head the Documents Registration and Real Estate Administration from 1947 to 1957 but resigned from government service altogether to pursue freelance writing.

Amiri Firuzkuhi's home in Tehran is known as a haven for the deeply feeling, where cultured people like 'Abd al-Rahman Parsa Tuysirkani, Ahmad Mahdavi Damghani, Habib Yaghma'i, Ghulam Husayn Ra'di Adarkhshi, and prominent classical musicians gathered in a convivial atmosphere for fruitful discussion of poetry, belles-lettres, and art.

Amiri's works include translations of texts of the Nahj al-Balagha and Hajj Shaykh Muhaddis Qummi's Nafs al-Mahmum: Wajiza fi 'ilm al-Nabi a philosophical treatise published in the Javidan-i Khirad journal.
