The Zafarnama (Persian: ظفرنامه‎‎, lit. Book of Victory) is a biography of Timur completed by the Persian historian Sharaf ad-Din Ali Yazdi somewhere between 1424 and 28 (AH 828–832). It was commissioned by Ibrahim Sultan, Timur's grandson, and remains one of the best-known sources on Timur's life. Yazdi relied heavily on another biography of Timur, also called the Zafarnama, completed by Nizam ad-Din Shami in 1404.

François Pétis de la Croix translated it into French in 1722, and it was translated into English in the following year.
