This article is about (members of) the Parsi Zoroastrian community in and from India. For the language, see Persian language.

A Parsi or Parsee is a member of the close-knit Zoroastrian community in or from the Indian subcontinent, and is a descendant of people who, in the 8th century, emigrated to the west coast of India from Persia to escape religious persecution after the Islamic conquest.

Followers of the Zoroastrian faith - irrespective of whether they are from India or elsewhere - are not necessarily Parsis. The modern legal definition of "Parsi" (see below) explicitly includes only persons who are descended from the original Persian immigrants. Although such a definition may initially appear elitist, it has legal and traditional reasons and ramifications (see below). The term Parsi itself means Persian.
