Persia (del latín Persa(e), y este del griego Περσίς y Περσική; gentilicio: persa) es una región histórica ubicada al suroeste del Irán moderno (ahora la provincia de Fars). Se cree que los persas emigraron inicialmente desde Asia Central o, más probablemente, desde el norte a través del Cáucaso. Luego habrían emigrado a la región actual de Persia a principios del primer milenio antes de Cristo. El nombre del país Persia se deriva directamente del antiguo persa Parsa.
