Shahram Shabpareh (Persian: شهرام شب پره‎‎) is an Iranian Pop singer , composer and songwriter.

He is regarded as the father of pop music in Iran.

He started his career as a drum player in the early 1960s when he was 13. In the mid 1960s at the age of 17, he formed a band of his own named "Rebells".

After the Islamic revolution in 1979, Shahram, who had migrated to California a few years earlier, did not have the opportunity to return to his homeland. Since then, he has been living in the United States.
