Shahrokh Meskoob (Persian: شاهرخ مسکوب‎) (January 11, 1924 in Babol, Iran – April 12, 2005 in Paris, France), was an Iranian writer, translator, scholar and university professor.

Meskoob was born in the city of Babol in north of Iran. He started reading novels and literature since he just finished the primary school.

He then continued his school in Isfahan and then returned to Tehran in 1945 to study law in the University of Tehran. Three years later he graduated from law school and started his activities in leftist political parties.

In March 1955 he was jailed and tortured. Two things kept him alive while he was prisoned; his mother and his close friend Morteza Keyvan who was executed. Shahrokh Meskoob was released in May 1957. From 1959 until the 1979 Iranian revolution, he worked for different government sectors.

After the revolution, he moved to Europe and spent most of his time with his sister in France. He died on April 12, 2005 in Paris, aged 81.
