Shahid Motahari University (Persian: دانشگاه شهید مطهری) was built in 1879 by Mirza Hosein Sepahsalar (Persian: میرزا حسین سهپسالار‎). The university is located in Baharestan square in Tehran, Iran.[1]

After the revolution in 1979, Ayatollah Emami-Kashani was appointed as the president of the university. Since then, the university has mostly focused on religious studies and social sciences. It is particularly well-known for its graduate programs in Philosophy, Law, Islamic Jurisprudence, and Economics. Admission to the university is only possible through the annual Konkoor Exam of Iran.[2]

Some of the notable alumni include Ebrahim Raisi, the current Chief Justice of Iran, Mahdi Khamooshi, Massoud Khamenei, Mohammad Javad Hajaliakbari, a number of other Iranian officials.
