Rouzbeh Arghavan (Persian: روزبه ارغوان), born May 18, 1988) is a professional Iranian basketball player who currently plays for Shahrdari Gorgan BC, and the Iranian national team. He plays at the center position, and is the second tallest player of Iran's national basketball team.[1]

In 2004, when Arghavan entered the Iranian U-18 national team, according to experts he showed an amazing combination of strength and speed, making him a key role-player at the 4 and 5 positions. In addition to excellent attacking skills, he also displayed top defensive player skills, by playing defense well, and grabbing the most rebounds in his age group. He has also played for the senior national team, gaining experience in the 2014 World Cup and 2014 Incheon Asian Games.

Before picking up basketball, Arghavan was a skilled swimmer, who turned to basketball because of his large physique. In his personal life, he completed his bachelor's and master's degrees from applied physiology at Tehran University.
