Bahram Radan (born 28th April 1979) is an Iranian actor and singer. Radan, who was studying Business Management in college, enrolled in acting classes, where he was discovered as a young talent.

When he was offered a chance to star in The Passion of Love for the first time, he got his first break.

The film was a huge success at the Iranian box office and was one of the top-grossing films of 2000.

Radan has since appeared in several films and has established himself as one of Iran's top five superstars.

In 2008, Iranian authorities began to prohibit his photos from billboards due to his ubiquity.

He was appointed by the United Nations as the first Iranian UN Ambassador Against Hunger in 2010. He has recently delved into music and released his first album, The Other Side, in 2012.

"Jeegh" (Scream), "To Rafti" (You Left) and "Zamouneh" were two of the album's songs, as well as "Zamouneh" (Era). Radan tweeted support (in Persian) for the Supreme Court's decision to legalize gay marriage in June 2015, but after criticism from government-affiliated hardline media, he was forced to delete the tweet and apologize.

Although the Guardian could not independently verify the assertion, Iranian media announced that Radan had been summoned for questioning before the country's Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, which oversees films and cultural information before its release in 2008. After that, he was "ZAAL" in the "iran C project theatre " "Fort a Light".
