 List of Iranian scientists and scholars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is a non-comprehensive list of Iranian scientists and engineers that lived from antiquity up until the beginning of the modern age.
A better suiting word to attribute to this list would perhaps be "List of Iranian scholars" since many of the listed were not scientists per se in the modern sense of the word, but were philosophers instead.
The list intends to be inclusive of all academics and practitioners.

Iranian-Americans have often been negatively affected by many changes in immigration laws, such as the recent deportation of Iranian scientists who had traveled to the US on valid visas.
