Meir Ezri (in Hebrew: מאיר עזרי) (1924-2015) was the ambassador and the first representative plenipotentiary of the Israeli political representation in Tehran, capital of Iran.[1][2]

He played an important role in promoting Iran-Israel relations between 1958 to 1975.[3] Meir Ezri was also one of the activists of the Jewish Agency for Israel in Iran and played an important role in facilitating the immigration of Iranian Jews to Israel.[4]
