Washirazi (pia: Wambwera) ni kabila la watu wa visiwa vya Bahari Hindi, hasa vile vya Zanzibar na Komoro[1][2].

Asili yao inahushishwa na Shiraz na pwani ya Uajemi.

Washirazi walichangia sana uenezi wa Uislamu, uanzishaji wa usultani wa Waarabu na lugha ya Kiswahili, pamoja na kutajirika kwa biashara ya watumwa na bidhaa mbalimbali kutoka bara la Afrika iliyofanyika kutoka vituo vyao visiwani.[2][3][4][tanbihi 1]

Hadi leo karibu wote wanaongea lahaja za Kiswahili na kufuata dini ya Uislamu.

Katika karne ya 20 jina la "Shirazi" lilipata umaarufu wa kimataifa wakati wapinzani wa utawala wa Kiarabu kisiwani Unguja walifanya mapinduzi ya Zanzibar kwa jina la "Afro Shirazi Party" iliyoendelea kutawala Zanzibar hadi mwaka 1977 ilipounganika na TANU ya bara na kuwa Chama cha Mapinduzi na hivyo kuacha jina lake.

Most scholars, however, believe that the Shirazi actually began their settlement of the East African coast in the twelfth century and that they originated in Somalia. Shirazi established themselves on the following islands: Lamu Kenya, Pemba Zanzibar, Mafia and Kilqa Kiswani all in Tanzania and Comoros. (...) Known for their mercantile skills, the Shirazi asserted themselves as ruling elites as early as the twelfth century on the islands that were their base.

ISBN 978-0-8166-0963-5., Quote: "The Shirazi were classified as native, that is, Africans, and this they were of low status. Prior to the colonial era, the Shirazi and Arabs saw themselves, for the most part, as one community. (...) Unlike the previous periods in which African captives were usually taken to Persian Gulf areas to work primarily as domestic laborers, by the nineteenth century, most slaves were being utlized on the vast clove and plantations on the East African coast and offshore islands. (...) Arab rule, from this period until its demise at the hands of the European powers, became virtually synonymous with slavery and slave ownership." (...) "Though Shirazi ownership of slaves was never as extensive as the Arabs, slaves were a major source of their wealth"
