Arnavāz (; "Arənauuāčī" in Avestan) is one of the two daughters (or possibly sisters) of Jamshid, the mythological king of Parsia. Arnavāz and her sister, Shahrnāz first married Zahhāk, but later married Fereydun, after he had defeated Zahhāk and imprisoned him in mount Damāvand.
In some versions of Shahname, including the russian version, Ṯaʿālebī, Arnavaz and Shahrnāz are the daughters of Jamshid. But in others, they are his sisters.
