Shahram Rostami (Template:Lang-fa) was an Iranian fighter pilot in the Iran-Iraq War. With six definite aerial victories, against three MiGs and three Mirage F1s, he qualifies as a flying ace and holds the record for the second highest score of any F-14 Tomcat pilot behind fellow serviceman Jalil Zandi.

Rostami held office as the deputy commander of Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force and the chairman of Joint Staff of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army.
