Suku Shirazi, juga dikenal dengan nama Mbwera, adalah kelompok etnis yang menghuni kawasan Pesisir Swahili dan kepulauan di sekitarnya.^[2] Mereka khususnya terkonsentrasi di pulau Zanzibar, Pemba dan kepulauan Komoro.^[1]^[2] Mereka awalnya merupakan penghuni kepulauan Lamu yang bermigrasi ke selatan dan mengembangkan mitos bersama bahwa nenek moyang mereka berasal dari Shiraz dan pesisir barat daya Persia. Suku "Shirazi" dikenal karena telah membantu menyebarkan agama Islam di Pesisir Swahili dan juga akan peran mereka dalam mendirikan kesultanan-kesultanan lokal. Mereka juga telah mempengaruhi perkembangan bahasa Swahili dan mereka dikenal akan kekayaan yang mereka peroleh dari perdagangan komoditas dan budak-budak Afrika yang berbahasa Bantu. Wilayah pesisir Afrima Timur dan kepulauan-kepulauan di sekitarnya merupakan pusat dagang mereka.^[2]^[3]^[4]
