Bahram IV, king of Persia (389-399), son and successor of Shapur III, under whom he had been governor of Kirman[?]; therefore he was called Kirmanshah (Agathias iv. 26; Tabari).

Under him or his predecessor Armenia was divided between the Roman and the Persian empire. Bahram IV was killed by some malcontents.
