Peroz I Kushanshah (Bactrian script: Πιρωςο Κοϸανο ϸαηο)^[1] was Kushanshah of the Kushano-Sasanian Kingdom from 245 to 275. He was the successor of Ardashir I Kushanshah. He was an energetic ruler, who minted coins in Balkh, Herat, and Gandhara. Under him, the Kushano-Sasanians further expanded their domains into the west, pushing the weakened Kushan Empire to Mathura in North India.

Peroz I Kushanshah was succeeded by Hormizd I Kushanshah in 275.
