Ayatollah Haj Mirza Khalil Kamarah'i (Persian: خلیل کمرهای, romanized: Khalīl Kamarah’ī; 1898, in Ferneq – 1984, in Tehran, Iran) was an Iranian author, researcher and philosopher of contemporary theology that sought to unite the Muslim sects supporting his cause.
He studied under Abdul-Karim Ha'eri Yazdi in Arak and Qom. He continued his studies of various Islamic subjects and philosophy throughout his life. He worked with the administration in the Vatican City on various philosophical questions, which he later released in a separate book. He travelled to Cairo on behalf of Seyyed Hossein Borujerdi and Mahmud Shaltut, the Grand Mufti and dean of Al-Azhar University Sheikh, for fatwa. He was an imam for the Jamaat of Fakhr-ol-dowleh Mosque in Tehran for more than three decades and taught at the University of Theology in Tehran for five years.
