Roxana Manouchehri (born Tehran) is an Iranian visual artist. Through her work, Manouchehri generally focuses on her surroundings and its essential aspects. Although many Iranians’ lifestyles appear modern, they are still governed largely by conventional, religious attitudes. She addresses the gap of nature and form found between modernism and tradition. She has an M.A. in Painting from the Art University Tehran, Iran, 2001, and a B.A. in Painting from the same university in 1997.

She completed a 6-month Asian Artists Fellowship Program in National Art Studio, Chang-dong, Seoul, South Korea in Oct. 2007. There she exhibited her work in her 'Feel the Expanse' series. . She also had several other solo and group shows during her time in Korea.

She spent 4 weeks in an artist residency in Finland in early 2011.

Manouchehri currently resides and works in Dublin, Ireland. She has held many solo exhibitions in Iran and has participated in many domestic and international group shows. She has been part of several art fairs and some important collectors keep her work in Iran and elsewhere.
