Roohangiz Saminejad (24 June 1916 — 3 April 1997) was an Iranian actress. She is famous in Iran for playing the heroine Golnar in Lor Girl (1934), which was the first film made in the Persian language, making her the first Iranian film star in a talkie film

Roohangiz Saminejad was not a professional actress. She was the wife of an employee of the film company. She was discovered by Abdolhossein Sepenta, who had almost despaired of finding an actress with the right look for the film. Her strong Kermani accent required some changes to the script to account for it.

She only made one more film, Shirin va Farhad, also produced by Sepenta. According to Hamid Reza Sadr she suffered social ostracism in the conservative culture of the time for becoming an actress. She also experienced sexual harassment from men when she went out in public. She had to change her name and lived in anonymity and seclusion.

Dans la première scène du film, nous voyons Ferdowsi qui par la fenêtre de sa maison regarde tristement le pont ruiné de la ville de Tus. À la cour du sultan Mahmoud Ghaznavi, Ferdowsi récite certaines parties de Shah Nameh. La vieillesse du poète est la fin de son histoire et se passe dans l’isolement et l’amertume. De temps en temps, il entend par sa fenêtre les enfants chanter ses vers de Shah Nameh. La scène finale est celle de sa mort : deux hommes portent son cercueil, et derrière eux seule la fille du poète les suit, larmes à l’œil.
