Faramarz (فرامرز) is an Iranian legendary hero (pahlavan) in Ferdowsi's Shahnameh ("Book of Kings"). He was the son of Rostam and was ultimately killed by Kay Bahman.

The book Faramarz-nama, written about a hundred years after the Shahnameh, is devoted to Faramarz and his wars. He is also mentioned in other epics such as the Borzu Nama.
