Abd al-Wahab Mirjan (Arabic: عبد الوهاب مرجان; 1909 – March 15, 1964) was an Iraqi politician who served as the Prime Minister of Iraq from 1957 to 1958. His tenure as prime minister oversaw Iraq's short-lived union with Jordan, which was formalized on February 14, 1958. A relative newcomer to the Iraqi government, Murjan first joined the cabinet in 1947. He resigned less than a month after the federation was declared, in favor of Nuri al-Said, and survived the 1958 republican coup later that year and died in 1964.

Mirjan was known, along with his father Abd al-Razzaq Mirjan, as being compassionate to his country; Abd al-Razzaq Mirjan and his cousin Abdul Abbas donated a number of valuable assets, such as Mirjan Hospital in the Babylon Province in central Iraq and a large number of houses for the poor in the country.
