Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr (Persian: محمدباقر ذوالقدر‎‎) is an Iranian retired military commander who currently serves as the deputy for strategic, societal–security and crime prevention affairs in the Judicial system of Iran. He is former Deputy Interior Minister for Security Affairs under Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

In the early 1980s, Zolghadr co-headed Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' educational division. He later served as the commander of IRGC Irregular Warfare Headquarters, as well as Ramazan Headquarters. Zolghadr served as the deputy commander of the IRGC. In 2007, Zolghadr was appointed as the deputy chief of general staff of Iranian Armed Forces for Basij-related affairs.

Following the Iranian Revolution, Zolghadr joined the Mojahedin of the Islamic Revolution Organization and belonged to its right-wing faction, having previously been a member of Mansouroun guerrilla organization along with later fellow IRGC servicemen Rezaei, Shamkhani and Rashid. He is reportedly "one of the founders" of Ansar-e Hezbollah.
