Burundi–Iran relations refers to the bilateral relations between the Republic of Burundi and the Islamic Republic of Iran. Burundi and Iran established diplomatic relations on 31 March 1985.[1] The nations conducted little diplomacy with one another, though Burundi imported crude oil in the private sector in the following decades.[2] In the late 2010s, the countries made minor agreements in the fields of mining, rural development, trade policy, and agriculture.[3]

In April 2022, Ambassador of Burundi Gérard Ntahorwaroye Bikebako met with former Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi.[4] In May that year he also met with Iran's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.[citation needed]
