Shahnameh folio depicting Vinduyih and his brother Vistahm killing the Sasanian monarch Hormizd IV

Vinduyih (Middle Persian: Windōē) or Bendoy (Persian: بندوی) was a Sasanian nobleman from the Ispahbudhan family. His sister was the mother of Khosrau II, thus making Vinduyih the uncle of Khosrau. Vinduyih and Vistahm played an important role in restoring the throne for Khosrau II from Bahram Chobin. He was later deposed in Ctesiphon by the orders of Khosrau II.
