'''Dastur Peshotanji Behramji Sanjana''' (1828&ndash;26 December 1898) was an Indian scholar and Zoroastrian head-priest (Dastur).<br />
He was Principal of the Sir Jamshedji Jijibhoy Zartoshti ([[Zoroastrianism|Zoroastrian]]) [[Madrasa|Madressa]] (seminary) in [[Bombay]], and the Dastur (‘high-priest’) of the Wadia Atash Behram (fire temple).<br />
