This article is about the Iranian medium-ranged ballistic missile. For the Pakistani guided rocket artillery, see Fatah (multiple rocket launcher).

Fattah-1 (Persian: فتاح, lit. 'conqueror') is an Iranian medium-range ballistic missile developed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and unveiled in June 2023. Iran has described the missile as "hypersonic", a description which has been noted as "dubious" by several media outlets including Calcalist, the Times of Israel and The War Zone; and by analyst Fabian Hinz as "obscur[ing] more than it illuminates." According to Iran, its high maneuverability and speed helps it to evade missile defense systems. In November 2023, Iran unveiled a newer version of the missile, Fattah-2.
