Babak Ghorbani (Persian: بابک قربانی, 19 March 1989 – 16 November 2014) was an Iranian wrestler.[1]

He won gold medal at 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou. In 2011, Ghorbani was banned from participation in FILA events for two years due to use of anabolic steroids, and so was unable to compete in the 2012 Olympics. In 2012, he was in a fight during a hunting trip in a mountainous area of Kermanshah, and was charged with murder. He committed suicide in jail on November 16, 2014.[2]
