The Sun Throne (Persian: Takht-i Khurshīd) is the imperial throne of Persia. It has its name after a radiant sun disk on the headboard. The throne has the shape of a platform (takht), similar to the Marble Throne in Golestan Palace. The Naderi Throne was constructed later and has the appearance of chair.

It was constructed for Persian emperor Fath-Ali Shah Qajar. He took Tavous Khanum Tajodoleh as one of his consorts. In English her name translates as Lady Peacock. Due to her name, the throne later received the misnomer “Peacock Throne”. It was also theorised that parts of the plundered Mughal Peacock Throne were re-used, such as the legs or other parts, however no conclusive proof exists. Nevertheless in a metonymic sense, the term "Peacock Throne" also referred rhetorically in the West to the institution of the Persian monarchy.

Not a single element on the Sun Throne features a peacock. The Lion and Sun was the ancient symbol of kingship in Persia. When the Shah would be seated on the throne, he symbolised the lion, with the sun symbol behind his back. The Shah himself however could also be seen as the sun. The last Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi carried the title Aryamehr (Light of the Aryans), which was another connotation for the sun.

The throne has the shape of a raised platform or bed, in the middle of which the sovereign would take his seat elevated above the ground. This has strong connotations to the ancient Persian symbol of Faravahar, the winged sun. The throne originally also featured two sculptured birds on either side of the sun, facing it. This added to the symbolism of the elevated, floating throne.
