Introduction and statement of the topic: This article seeks to analyze the ethnic identity in Iranian society based on the researches that have been conducted in the field of ethnic identity, and it deals with the importance of how the prominence of ethnic identity is compared to national identity among Iranian ethnic groups and the factors affecting divergence. And what are the convergences? In the theoretical framework, in addition to using two macro-linear and non-linear approaches of national identity and ethnic identity, the theories of ethnic nationalism, elite competition, unbalanced development and relative deprivation have also been used. A systematic review method was used and based on that, 48 studies that paid attention to the issue of ethnic identity in Iran from 1380-1401 were selected. The results of this research show that all Iranian ethnic groups emphasized on the central Iran of their identity and the prominence of national identity was the first priority of all Iranian ethnic groups' identity choices. Different social groups of Iranians are proud of being Iranian. At the same time, pride in ethnic identity and ethnic commitment and belonging has a high score (close to 60), but according to the results of this research and the emphasis on law-oriented demands by Ethnic groups, extra-legal collective actions with violence and deviance have no place in the mentality of Iranian ethnic groups.
