Farid Rastagar (Persian: فريد رستگار ) is an Afghan singer, music arranger, and composer. He is one of the 80s era singers who rose to popularity as Afghanistan’s pop music was reaching its zenith of maturity. His early albums became highly successful due to the keen detail he gave to the background music all of which he arranged, composed and sang himself. Currently he continues his music in exile from Hamburg, Germany, his home since he emigrated from Afghanistan, often performing in various cities in Europe.

He is of Panjshiri background. His wife Wajiha Rastagar and his daughter Hadya Rastagar are also singers.
