Reza Haghighi (Persian: رضا حقیقی, born 1 February 1989) is an Iranian footballer who currently plays for Padideh in the Persian Gulf Pro League.
Haghighi started his career with Payam. He made his debut for Payam on 10 November 2006 while he has 16 years old.
He joined Fajr Sepasi in the summer of 2009. He was chosen by Mahmoud Yavari as the club Captain before the starting of the 12th Iran Pro League. As of August 2012, he was named the Asian Best player of month by Goal.com Asia.
In the summer of 2012, Persepolis tried to acquire Haghighi but Fajr Sepasi rejected Persepolis's undisclosed bid (reported €220,000) and he had to stay at Fajr Sepasi. Ultimately, during the mid-season transfer window of the 12th Iran Pro League, the two teams reached an agreement on his transfer terms and Haghighi joined Persepolis on November 21, 2012. He signed a 2.5 year contract until the end of the 2014–15 season. He made his debut for Persepolis in a 6–0 win against Malavan in the 2012–13 Hazfi Cup Round of 32. He scored his first goal for Persepolis from a penalty kick in a match against Saipa on 28 February 2013. On December 27, 2014 he was officially released from Persepolis. He finished his career in Persepolis with 61 appearances and 3 goals.
Haghighi joined Padideh in December 2014 with a contract until the end of season.
