Taqī Miṣbāḥ (Persian: تقی مصباح; born Taqī Givečī,Persian: تقی گیوهچی), commonly known as Muḥammad–Taqī Miṣbāḥ Yazdī (Persian: محمدتقی مصباح یزدی, born 31 January 1934) is an Iranian Twelver Shi'i cleric and principlist political activist who unofficially leads Front of Islamic Revolution Stability.
He was a member of the Assembly of Experts, the body responsible for choosing the Supreme Leader, where he heads a minority faction. He has been called 'the most conservative' and the most 'powerful' clerical oligarch in Iran's leading center of religious learning, the city of Qom.
In Qom, from 1952 to 1960, he participated in the courses taught by Imam Khomeini and Muhammad Husayn Tabataba'i. He also attended, for approximately fifteen years, Mohammad-Taqi Bahjat Foumani.
Mesbah Yazdi advocates Islamic philosophy and in particular Mulla Sadra's transcendent school of philosophy (Hikmat-e Muta`aliya). He believes Iranian are moving away from religion and values of Islamic revolution and opposes democratic rule of western country and the west-oriented reform movement.
