Nadia Khoshfekr (Persian: نادیا خوشفکر) was a 27-year-old woman from Rasht, in Gilan Province. Memorial posts written after her death note that she was killed close to her birthday.
On the evening of Thursday, 18 Dey 1404 (8 January 2026), during the nationwide protests, she was in Rasht's Shahrdari (Municipality) Square when she was hit by direct fire from government forces using live ammunition.
