Shahriar Shafiq (Persian: شهریار شفیق; 15 March 1945 – 7 December 1979) was an Iranian Imperial Navy Captain and a member of the House of Pahlavi.

[8] Additionally, Shafiq was the head of Judo and Karate federation of Iran during the reign of Mohammad Reza Shah.

[6] Then he joined his family in Paris, France, on 14 November 1979,[6] and began organizing a resistance movement against the Islamic Republic.

[12] In Iran, Islamic judge Ayatollah Sadeq Khalkhali tried and sentenced him and other members of the Pahlavi family in absentia to death in a secret trial in the spring of 1979.
