Rostam Farrokhzād (رستم فرّخزاد in Persian) (6?? – 636) was the Ērān Spāhbed (Spāhbed of Iran, Commander of the Army of Iran) of the Sasanian Empire under the reign of Yazdegerd III, (reigned 632–651). Rostam is remembered as an historical figure, a character in the Persian epic poem Shahnameh, and as a touchstone of most Iranian nationalists. His grandfather Vinduyih was the brother of Vistahm, the twenty-seventh Shahanshah of the Sasanians, as well.
