Pir Mam Rashan or Pir Mehmed Reshan (Kurdish: Pîr Mehmed Reşan, Pîr Memê Reşan, Pîr Mamreşan^[1]) was a 12th-century Yazidi saint. The Mam Rashan Shrine on Mount Sinjar was built in honor of him.^[2]^[3]

As a patron saint of agriculture, he is considered to be the protector of harvests and bringer of rain. His feast is celebrated in spring. There is a shrine dedicated to him at Lalish. Also, a shrine that is claimed as his tomb is situated behind Mount Maqlub near Bardarash, Iraq.^[6] During times of drought, special ceremonies are held at sites dedicated to him to pray for rain and blessing of cultivated land.^[7]
