Abdullatif Al-Mahmood (born 1946 in Hidd) is a Bahraini politician and doctor. He is of Sunni Arab origins.

In 1992, he signed on the uprising petition which had been demanding the return of Bahraini parliament deputy causing him to be detained for two weeks. Following his release, he withdrew from arguing that the petition had taken other goals. Afterwards, he disappeared from the political scene and worked as a doctor at the University of Bahrain.

During the Bahraini protests that began on 2011, Abdullatif Al-Mahmood appeared as president of the pro-government Gathering of National Unity, led the Fateh Mosque assembly, and coordinated the Sunnis demands. He also became a staunch anti-Shia loyalist and has completely abandoned his former anti-government stance.
