Yeprem Khan was a revolutionary leader of Iran.

Yeprem Khan Davidian (Persian: یپرم‌خان داویدیان‎ ), also Yefrem Khan, (1868-1912) was an Armenian revolutionary leader and national hero of Persia (Iran). Yeprem was born in the town of Barsum (in what is today Azerbaijani Republic) - in the historical Armenia's province of Gardman (located north to modern Nagorno-Karabakh Republic).

While a teenager, he entered into politics in Tbilisi against the anti–Armenian policies of the Ottoman empire. He was one of the first members of the Dashnak party that formed in 1890. He was soon arrested by Imperial Russia and imprisoned in Sakhalin in Siberia. Two years later he was released and he returned to the region, moving to Tabriz and then Rasht, where he founded a local branch of the Dashnak Party.

Yeprem Khan was highly instrumental in the Constitutional revolution of Iran. After the Persian national parliament was shelled by the Russian Colonel V. Liakhov, Yeprem Khan joined up with Sattar Khan and other revolutionary leaders in the Constitutional Revolution of Iran against Mohammad Ali Shah Qajar.

Later on Yeprem Khan was appointed Chief of Police forces (Shahrbani). He died on May 19, 1912.
