Dastur Peshotan Behramji Sanjana (1828 to 26 December 1898) was an Indian scholar and Zoroastrian head priest, or Dastur. He served as principal of the Sir Jamshedji Jijibhoy Zartoshti Madressa, a Zoroastrian seminary in Bombay, and as Dastur of the Wadia Atash Behram fire temple, and was regarded as one of the most learned high priests and authorities on the Pahlavi language of his time. In 1904 a Festschrift was published in his honor with an introduction by the scholar Edward William West.
