Zaradust-e Khuragen (Persian: زرتشت خورگان) was the leader of a branch of Zoroastrianism called Dorostdini and teacher of Mazdak, leader of Mazdakism. Dorostdini was the root of Mazdakism, and the sect put emphasis on the use of wisdom instead of religious laws. He was from Fasa and for many years he lived in the Byzantine Empire.
