Fereydoun Keshavarz (Persian: فریدون کشاورز; 1907–2006) was an Iranian physician and communist politician.
Early life and education
The son of a merchant from Gilan who had taken part in the Persian Constitutional Revolution, Keshavarz studied in Dar ul-Funun before going to study medicine in France. He taught at University of Tehran after he returned to Iran.
Career
Keshavarz entered politics in 1941, and joined Tudeh Party of Iran three months after its creation. A leading member of the party, he was elected to its first central committee and served as the party's parliamentary spokesperson. In the summer of 1946 he was named a minister in Qavam's coalition cabinet. He broke away from the party in 1958, because he came to believe that "Tudeh's policy is a betrayal of the working class".
