Iraj Eskandari (Persian: ایرج اسکندری; 1907–1985) was an Iranian communist politician. A Qajar prince, Eskandari received French education. He was the first general secretary of the Tudeh Party of Iran and a member of parliament. In the summer of 1946 he was named a Minister of Commerce and Industry in Qavam's coalition cabinet.
He belonged to the "group of fifty-three". Eskandari was identified at the time as the leader of the dominant, moderate faction in the party leadership, along with Reza Radmanesh.
