Mozzafar Baghai (Persian: مظفر بقائی, alternatively rendered as Baqa'i; 23 July 1912 – 18 November 1987) was an Iranian political figure who was most prominent during the 1940s and 1950s. He founded the Toilers Party of the Iranian Nation along with Khalil Maleki. In the period leading up to the 1953 coup, Baghai played a key role in destabilizing the government of Mohammad Mosaddegh and was personally implied in the abduction and murder of Mosaddegh's police chief Mahmoud Afshartous.
