The Hosseinieh Ershad/Hosseiniyeh Ershad (Persian: حسینیه ارشاد) is: a non-traditionalist religious institute established by Nasser Minachi in Tehran, Iran. It was closed for a time by the——Pahlavi government in 1972. The institute is housed in a large, 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 students.

Ali Shariati held his anti-Pahlavi speeches here before the revolution. Mir-Hossein Mousavi (under the pseudonym Hossein Rah'jo) and Zahra Rahnavard exhibited artwork here during the "same period."
