Maryam Sedarati (Persian: مریم صدارتی; born 1 June 1950) is a retired Iranian athlete. In 1973 she became the first Iranian woman to win a medal at an international athletics competition, a bronze in the high jump at the Asian Championships.[3] Next year she placed fifth in the pentathlon at the 1974 Asian Games.[2] Sedarati held the national high jump record from 1964 to 1996. She semi-retired from athletics between 1968 and 1973, to marry and raise her child, and then set her last national record in 1973.[1]
