Seyyed Ali Asghar Hijazi (Persian: سيد علی‌ اصغر حجازی) is an Iranian cleric and politician who served as the deputy chief of staff to Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran. He previously held the position of Deputy for Foreign Affairs in the Ministry of Intelligence of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Hijazi played a key role in coordinating high-level affairs among Iran's branches of government, intelligence agencies (including the Ministry of Intelligence and parallel security institutions), and the implementation of state policies on behalf of the Supreme Leader. He is considered one of the most influential figures in the Office of the Supreme Leader of Iran.

Hijazi was placed under international sanctions by the European Union in March 2012 and by the United States Department of the Treasury in January 2020 for his alleged involvement in serious human rights violations in Iran.
