Abdolhossein Hazhir (Persian: عبدالحسین هژیر‎; 4 June 1902 – 5 November 1949) was an Iranian politician who served as the Prime Minister of Iran under Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in 1948, having been a minister 10 times.[1] One of his posts was the minister of finance.[2]

During Hazhir's premiership in 1948 his policies were harshly criticized by Ayatollah Kashani who was one of the clerics close to the Fada'iyan-e Islam's leader Navab Safavi.[3] He was also subject to the criticisms of media outlets. One of them was a satirical magazine entitled Tawfiq which was closed by the government due to its frequent cartoons mocking Prime Minister Hazhir.[4] In November 1949, while serving as minister of royal court, Hazhir was assassinated at the Sipah Salar Mosque, Tehran.[5][6] The perpetrator was found to be Seyyed Hossein Emami Esfahani who was a member of Fada'iyan-e Islam, an Islamist militant organization led by Navab Safavi.[5][7]
