Mohammad Mokri (1921- July 12, 2007) was an Iranian Kurdish scholar and author who wrote over 100 books and 700 articles during his lifetime. Most of his work dealt with the subject of the Kurdish people and the Ahl-e Haqq religious order. He worked very closely with the Prime Minister of Iran Mohammad Mossadegh until his removal from power on August 19, 1953 during Operation Ajax.

Mokri moved to Paris, France in 1953, where he lived until 1979 when he and Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned to Iran. He lived in Iran and worked as the personal aide to the Ayatollah. Following disagreements with Khomeini, he moved back to France. He died at his home in Evry, France on July 12, 2007.
