Barbari Bread (Persian: Nan-e Barbari: نان بربري) is a type of Persian flatbread in Iran.

Barbari means "of or related to Barbars" in Persian. Barbars are a group of people living in Afghanistan near eastern borders of Iran. According to Dehkhoda Dictionary of Persian Language, this bread was baked by Barbar people and was brought to Tehran and became popular during Qajar reign. That's why the bread is known as Barbari.

The term Barbari can also be used similarly in Persian for Berbers who live in and around Algeria in North Africa.

The bread is served in many restaurants with "tabriz cheese", a type of feta cheese from sheep milk.
