Zari Khoshkam (Persian: زری خوشکام; 30 December 1947 – 16 May 2024), also known as Zahra Hatami (Persian: زهرا حاتمی) in film circles, was an Iranian actress. She was the wife of filmmaker Ali Hatami and the mother of actress Leila Hatami.[3][4]

Most of her film activities go back to the first two years of her career in cinema in 1971 and 1972. In these years, although she acted in films such as Adamak (آدمک) by Khosrow Haritash, Topoli (تپلی) by Reza Mirlohi and Khastegar (خواستگار) by Ali Hatami; however, in general, according to the conditions of Iranian cinema, it represented a special character (a seductive woman). Her film character changed after her marriage to Hatami, and after that she was not seen in cinema quite as often. In the years after the Revolution, she appeared under the name of Zahra Hatami in only a few works that were somehow related to her husband and family.
