Firuz Mirza Nosrat ad-Dowleh Farmanfarma (Persian: فیروز میرزا نصرت الدوله فرمانفرما; 1817 – 4 April 1886) was a Qajar prince, military commander and administrator in 19th-century Iran. He was the sixteenth son of Crown Prince Abbas Mirza. During the rule of his brother Mohammad Shah Qajar (r. 1834–1848), Firuz Mirza had a prosperous political and military career. This continued under his nephew Naser al-Din Shah Qajar (r. 1848–1896), who appointed him to multiple governorships and other leading positions. He was also a scholar and an expert with the kamancheh, a bowed string instrument. The current Firuz and Farmanfarmaian families are descended from the offspring of Firuz Mirza and his wife Homa Khanom, the granddaughter of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar (r. 1797–1834). One of them were their son Abdol-Hossein Farman Farma. Firuz Mirza's daughter Najm al-Saltaneh was the mother of Iranian politician Mohammad Mosaddegh. His other daughter, Sarvar al-Saltaneh, was a consort of Mozaffar ad-Din Shah Qajar.
