Iraj (Persian: ایرج) is a character in Persian epic Shahnameh. He is the youngest son of Fereydun and eventually inherits the throne of Iran when Fereydun breaks his kingdom among his three sons. The older brothers, Salm and Tur, become jealous of Iraj and eventually murder him. Years later his grandson, Manuchehr, avenges his death by killing both Salm and Tur.
