The solar calendar used in Iran. It is also called the Iranian calendar. Currently in Iran, the Islamic solar calendar is used in addition to the Islamic solar calendar (Hijri calendar) used throughout the Islamic world. This calendar was founded in 622, the same year as the Hijri calendar, but it is unique and based on the ancient Iranian calendar, which has the vernal equinox as New Year's Day (Nourūz). The foundations of the Persian calendar were established by Omar Khayyam, the author of the Rubaiyat and also an astronomer and mathematician.

イランで用いられている太陽暦。イラン暦とも呼ばれる。現在イランでは,イスラム世界全域で用いられているイスラム太陽暦(ヒジュラ暦)のほかに,イスラム太陽暦が併用されている。この暦は,紀元元年はヒジュラ暦と同じ622年であるが,春分の日を元日(ノウルーズNourūz)とするイラン古来の暦に基づく独自のものである。ペルシア暦の基礎は,《ルバーイヤート》の作者で,同時に天文学者・数学者のウマル・ハイヤームによって定められた。
