Azar Hekmat Shoar (born 1935 in Tabriz - died 1974 in Tehran) was an Iranian film actress.

Azar Hekmat Shoar, whose real name was Azar Taj Dehghani Azar, was born in Tabriz in 1935. Her acting career began in 1958 in theater with the musical Khosrow and Shirin.

In 1961, due to her beautiful and suitable appearance, she quickly entered the world of cinema. The first film she starred in, When the Sun Sets, remained unfinished and was therefore not shown; but in the same year, she played the main female role in As-o-Pas directed by Siamak Yasami opposite Naser Malek-Motiee and Arman. Later, she starred in two films by Samuel Khachikian with Abdollah Butimar.

Azar Hekmat Shoar was a modest actress who continued to act as a cinema actress until 1969 (she appeared in about twenty films) and even advanced to the point of stardom.

She also starred in one or two films with Behrouz Vossoughi and Reza Beik Imanvardi, as well as with Manouchehr Valizadeh in Gol Gomsudeh in 1962 and An Fereshtehi dar khaneh man in 1963.

In the 1960s, due to his husband's's opposition to her career as a cinema actress, their affair was dragged into press and cinema circles, and these controversies continued to the point that the her husband appeared with a constable behind the scenes of one of her films to arrest her wife for disobedience.

Azar Hekmat Shoar was a talented actor in Iranian cinema who, unfortunately, was not appreciated as she should have been, despite her merits, and she left cinema in 1969. Hekmat Shoar's private life was not peaceful, and due to family disputes and her husband's opposition to her activities, she eventually divorced.

Hekmat Shoar was only active in Iranian cinema in the 1960s and played elegant and unobtrusive roles and never became a star, although she played many leading roles. Her father, Professor Mohammad Dehghani Azar, was a friend of Sattar Khan, the national commander, and a respected politician in Tabriz. Azar Hekmat Shoar had a sister (Alamtaj) and three brothers: Rasoul, Houshang, and Dariush.

His younger brother (Colonel Dariush Dehghani Azar) was a high-ranking police officer and commander of the Nima Guard. After the 1979 revolution, he was sentenced to death along with five other high-ranking military officers in a court presided over by judge Ayatollah Rey Shahri and was shot on December 11, 1982.
