Mizan (Persian: میزان, romanizedMīzān, lit.'The scale [of justice]')[1] was an Iranian daily newspaper that was published from 1980 to 1981 as the organ of the Freedom Movement of Iran.[2]

It was one of the most influential publications during that period[3] and was described as the "largest opposition newspaper" in the country at the time it was banned.[1]
