Muhtasham Kashani (1500–1588) (Persian: محتشم کاشانی) was an Iranian poet of the Safavid era. He was influential in Shi'ite religious poetry, especially marsiyah poetry mourning the tragedy of Ashura.[1] He was born in Kashan, where he spent all of his life. He is well-known for his poetry about Imam al-Husayn's martyrdom[2] in the form of tarkib band.[3]

His main occupation, like that of his father, was in the cloth industry (in Kashan) before he took up poetry.[4]
