Safi-ad-Din Ardabili (Persian: صفیالدین اسحاق اردبیلی Ṣāfī ad-Dīn Isḥāq Ardabīlī; 1252/3 – 1334) was a poet, mystic, teacher and Sufi master. He was the son-in-law and spiritual heir of the Sufi master Zahed Gilani, whose order—the Zahediyeh—he reformed and renamed the Safaviyya, which he led from 1301 to 1334.
Safi was the eponymous ancestor of the Safavid dynasty, which ruled Iran from 1501 to 1736.
