Perzijanci (grčki: Πέρσαι, Persai) je atenska tragedija koju je napisao starogrčki dramatičar Eshil. Praizvedena je godine 472. pne. i predstavlja najstariji sačuvan tekst u historiji teatra. U njoj je dramatiziran perzijska reakcija na vijesti o poratu njihove flote i vojske u bitci kod Salamine (480. pne.), odlučujućem okršaju grčko-perzijskih ratova; kao takva, ističe se i po tome što jedina sačuvana grčka tragedija koja se bavi suvremenim događajima.
