Khalil bey Khasmammadov (Azerbaijani: Xəlil bəy Xasməmmədov; 1875–1947) was an Azerbaijani public figure, politician and diplomat. He served as a Member of the First and Second State Duma of the Russian Empire, Minister of Internal Affairs and Minister of Justice of Azerbaijan Democratic Republic, and as the first Ambassador of Azerbaijan to Ottoman Turkey.
Khasmammadov was born to a family of lawyers in Elisavetpol (Ganja) in 1875. He had four brothers. Khasmammadov graduated from Moscow State University with a degree in Law. His political activity started during the university years when he was a member of Muslim-Caucasus Fellow Countrymen Society. He then worked as an attorney in Yekaterinodar and Ganja district courts.
In the fall of 1905, together with his brother Alakbar, Khasmammadov participated in the establishment of Difai (Defense), a clandestine political association in Ganja. The group, which also included intellectuals such as Nasib Yusifbeyli, Ismayil Ziyadkhanov, and Ahmed Bey Aghayev, sought to counter the activity of Armenian Revolutionary Federation.
Khasmammadov was a member of the first and second Russian Duma. Along with five other Azerbaijani deputies, in November 1911, he spoke in the Duma against a discriminatory practice of exempting Azeris and other Caucasian Muslims from military service in Russian Imperial forces, while levying them with a special tax. As a member of Musavat Party, he was also closely involved with Azerbaijani national movement for autonomy within Russian Empire.
