Mirza Gholam Reza Esfahani, known as Khoshnevis (1830 or 1831 – (1887-03-01)1 March 1887), was a late 19th-century Iranian calligrapher and epigraphist. He was one of the masters of Persian calligraphy, in particular the Nastaliq, Shekasteh-Nastaliq and Shekasteh scripts.[1]

He was born in the capital Tehran, and died there as well. He signed his works with two invocations, either "Ya Ali madad" or "Gholam Reza, Ya Ali madadast".[1]
