Hormizd IV (Middle Persian: 𐭠𐭥𐭧𐭥𐭬𐭦𐭣‎; New Persian: هرمز چهارم), was king of the Sasanian Empire from 579 to 590.[1] He was the son and successor of Khosrow I.

During his reign, Hormizd IV had the high aristocracy and Zoroastrian priesthood slaughtered, whilst supporting the landed gentry (the dehqan). His general, Bahram Chobin, successfully contained defeated a massive Turkic incursion in the east, and as a result became subject of jealousy, which led to Hormizd IV have him disgraced and dismissed. Bahram, infuriated by Hormizd's actions, responded by rebelling, and due to his noble status and great military knowledge, was joined by his soldiers and many others. Two other dissatisfied nobles, Vistahm and Vinduyih, shortly had Hormizd IV deposed and killed, elevating his son Khosrow II as the new shah.

Hormizd IV is called a Torkzad in the Shahnameh, meaning son of Turk, according to some sources his mother was the daughter of the Turkish khagan, this, however, has been rejected by Encyclopædia Iranica, which states that the marriage with the daughter of the Turkish khagan is impossible, and says that Hormizd was born in 540, thirty years before Khosrow's marriage.... ...
