Dato' Seri Ir. Haji Mohammad Nizar bin Jamaluddin (born 17 March 1957) is the former Menteri Besar (Chief Minister) of the Malaysian state of Perak, and Member of Parliament for Bukit Gantang. Nizar is the member of Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah).
Nizar was appointed as Menteri Besar on 17 March 2008 but was ousted in January 2009. He was the first, and remains the only, Menteri Besar of Perak not from the Barisan Nasional coalition. His appointment followed the 2008 general election, in which the Pakatan Rakyat coalition, comprising the Democratic Action Party (DAP), the Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) and his own party, PAS, won a majority of the seats in the Perak State Legislative Assembly. Appointed by the Crown Prince of Perak Raja Nazrin Shah over two other candidates, Datuk Ngeh Koo Ham and Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi, his appointment was initially controversial, as his party was the smallest of the three Pakatan Rakyat parties in the state assembly. He was removed as Menteri Besar just over a year later, following defections from Pakatan Rakyat coalition to Barisan Nasional that gave the latter a majority in the assembly and sparked a constitutional crisis.
Nizar is an engineering graduate from Aston University in Birmingham, United Kingdom. He took over the chief minister post from Datuk Seri DiRaja Tajol Rosli Mohd. Ghazali of Barisan Nasional.
