Soltan-Mohammad Fakhri Heravi (; –after 1566) was a poet and scholar who served in the courts of the Safavid, Arghunid and Mughal dynasties. A native of Herat, he was the son of the poet Amiri.

Haft keshvar, a historical chronicle following parts of the "mirror for princes" genre, was dedicated to the Safavid Shah Ismail I () by Fakhri Heravi, who acted as a panegyrist for both Ismail I and his successor Shah Tahmasp I (). The governor of Herat, Durmish Khan Shamlu and his vizier Karim al-Din Khvajeh Habibollah Savaji supported Fakhri Heravi. In 1524, Fakhri Heravi translated Ali-Shir Nava'i's Chagatai Turkic text, Majalis al-Nafais, into Persian under the title Lata'ef-nama.

Fakhri Heravi later moved to Sindh, then ruled by the Arghunid Mirza Shah Hasan ().
