The Pejman Foundation is an Iranian nonprofit arts foundation, established by Hamidreza Pejman in 2015,[1][2] to promote art in a space free of nationality and geographical boundaries, and to connect the common aspects of art and philosophy.[3]

The foundations activities are held at three sites in Tehran:
- The Argo Factory – the foundation headquarters,[4] in a restored former beer factory building in downtown Tehran.[1][4]
- Kandovan – a project space and residency program, also in downtown Tehran[5]
- Café Musée Project – a platform for projects and events inside the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art.[6]
