Mazyar (Middle Persian: Māh-Izād; Mazandarani/Persian: مازیار, romanized: Māzyār) was an Iranian prince from the Qarinvand dynasty, who was the ruler (ispahbadh) of the mountainous region of Tabaristan from 825/6 to 839. For his resistance to the Abbasid Caliphate, Mazyar is considered one of the national heroes of Iran by twentieth-century Iranian nationalist historiography. His name means "protected by the yazata of the moon".

Vindadhhurmuz (himself only a recent convert to Islam), refused to pay tribute to the caliphate through the intermediacy of the Tahirids, insisting on direct access to the caliphs." Boyle JA, ed.
