Mohamed Fuad "Mo" Hrezi (born 28 October 1991) is a Libyan marathon runner. He competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in the marathon and finished in 77th place with a time of 2:21:17. He was the flag bearer for Libya at the Parade of Nations.
Hrezi was born and raised in the United States; he qualified to compete for Libya through dual citizenship. Hrezi took up cross country running in eighth grade because it was the only sport available. A sprinter, he was the worst distance runner in his group, but he gradually increased his running distance up to the marathon.
