Parvin Kheirbakhsh (Persian: پروین خیربخش), better known as Forouzan (فروزان; 9 August 1937 – 24 January 2016) was an Iranian actress, producer, and dubbing artist.
She started her cinematic career as a voice-over actress. In 1964 she starred in Siamak Yasemi's Sāhele Entezār, but it was Ganj-e Qarun, another film by Yasemi, that made her very famous. She co-starred in this film with Fardin. After Ganj-e Qarun Fardin and Forouzan made a golden cinematic couple and co-starred in some of the highest-grossing films of the era, known as Persian Films or Film Farsi (in Persian: فیلمفارسی). Persian Film was the popular genre of movies produced in Iran before the Iranian revolution of 1979.
