The Paykan (Persian: پيکان, romanized: Peykân meaning Arrow), is the first Iranian-made car produced by Iran Khodro between 1967 and 2005. The car, formerly called "Iran National", is a licensed version of the British Rootes Arrow (Hillman Hunter) and was very popular in Iran from its introduction until its discontinuation.

The Paykan spawned some locally developed variants, most notably a pickup named Bardo and having a different body shell from the one sold elsewhere.
