The Hosseinieh Ershad or Hosseiniyeh Ershad (حسینیه ارشاد) is a religious institute in Tehran, Iran. It was closed for a time by the Pahlavi government in 1972. The institute is housed in a large and beautiful domed hall, and is used for lectures on history, culture, society, and religion.

The facility also includes a large public library, where most of its users are college preps.

This is where Dr. Ali Shariati held his fiery anti-Pahlavi speeches before the revolution.
