Mehrdād (Persian: مهرداد, pronounced [mehɾdɒːd] ^ⓘ) is a common Persian male given name in Iran and other Persian speaking countries.

In modern-day Iran, the name Mehrdad is also retroactively applied to several historic Persian figures that appear in western literature as Mithridates, a Hellenized or philhellenic form of Mehrdad.
