List of Iranian Azerbaijanis explained

Iranian Azerbaijanis, a Turkic-speaking people, are Iranians of Azerbaijani ethnicity who may speak the Azerbaijani language as their first language. They are mainly settled in and are native to the Iranian Azerbaijan region, including provinces of East Azerbaijan, Ardabil, Zanjan, and West Azerbaijan, and in smaller numbers, Kurdistan, Qazvin, Hamadan, Gilan, Markazi, and Kermanshah. They also constitute a significant minority in Tehran, Karaj, and other regions. They are known by variant and similar names in Persian and Azerbaijani languages, depending on the identity and self-preference, including "Azeri," "Azari," "Azerbaijani," or "Turk," with the prefix of "Iranian" or "Persian" to distinguish from the people of the Republic of Azerbaijan.^[1]

This is a list of Iranian Azerbaijani notable people by birth or ancestry, ethnicity or nationality, arranged by main profession then birthdate. For similar reasons related to ethnogenesis and national identity, this list starts from the early modern history of Azerbaijan and Iran, when the Safavids established a national state officially known as Persia or Iran and reasserted the Iranian identity of the region.^[2] To be included in this list, the person must have a Wikipedia article and references showing the person is Azerbaijani and Iranian.
