Nina Ansary (Persian: نینا انصاری, born 1966) is an Iranian–American historian and author best known for her work on women's equity in Iran. Ansary's research seeks to counter conventional assumptions of the progress of women in Iran while advocating for full emancipation. In 2015, Women's eNews recognized Ansary as one of "21 leaders of the 21st century" and in 2019 she received the Ellis Island Medal of Honor.
