Alzahra University (In Persian: دانشگاه الزهرا) is a female-only state-run university in Vanak, Tehran, Tehran Province, Iran.

Founded in 1964 as a private institution under title of The Higher Educational Institute For Girls (In Persian: مدرسه عالی دختران), it was renamed Farah Pahlavi University after empress Farah Pahlavi, the wife of Muhammad Reza Pahlavi. After the Iranian revolution, the university attained a public status, and was renamed Al-Zahra University, after Fatimah Zahra, the beloved daughter of prophet Muhammad.

The university offers degrees in 67 areas, including 6 PhD degrees. Zahra Rahnavard was appointed as chancellor of Alzahra university on September 23, 1998.
