Darioush Bayandor is a former Iranian diplomat and official under the government of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi who left Iran after the Iranian Revolution to work for the United Nations in the 1980s and 1990s before retiring to Switzerland where he writes and consults.

Born in Iran to Gholamali Bayandor, the head of the Imperial Iranian Navy under Reza Shah, Bayandor served as a senior diplomat in New York City and Tehran in the 1970s and was a lecturer at the University of Tehran and Shahid Beheshti University. He was the director of the regional bureau for the Americas in the Iran foreign ministry and served as foreign-affairs adviser to two prime ministers of Iran. In 1980 Bayandor joined the United Nations and led several UN offices in Asia, Europe and Africa. In the 1990s he was the regional coordinator for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in refugee-heavy areas such as Bangladesh and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and he served in the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. He has written for newspapers and journals in the US and France.

His book Iran and the CIA: The Fall of Mosaddeq Revisited, was published in 2010. The book has received mixed reviews. Washington Times criticized the book stating that "a careful reading of Mr. Bayandor's book, along with the CIA history and Mr. Roosevelt's memoir, shows that there is a very thin element of truth in his revisionist theory". However, The Economist was more complimentary, noting that "Mr Bayandor's scepticism is a useful antidote to Roosevelt's self-aggrandising, which some later writers have mimicked uncritically..."

Bayandor has analyzed and adapted Iranian poetry into French and English: in 2006, for the Journal of Middle Eastern and African Intellectual and Cultural Studies, he wrote "Hafez: A Face-Off With Virtue" about the famous 14th century Iranian lyric poet, Hafez. After the June 2009 death of Neda Agha-Soltan, he translated Hila Sadighi's poem Neda, the daughter of Iran and published it himself through two blogs.
