Hasan Hasanzade Amoli (Persian: حسن حسنزاده آملی: 10 February, 1927 – 25 September, 2021) was an Iranian Shi'ite theologian known for his mystical tendencies and Islamic philosophy. He was among clerics who overcame the traditional opposition to teaching philosophy courses at Shi'ite seminaries. He wrote many books in philosophy, mysticism, mathematics, astronomy, Persian and Arabic literature. He interpreted the Islamic philosophical tradition in a similar way to Mulla Sadra, which is a reconciliation of religion, reason and mysticism. His books include Sharh fusus al-hikam, Tashih nahj al-balagha, Insan dar 'urf-i 'irfan, Tashih kalila wa dimna.
He died on Saturday, 25 September 2021, at the age of 94. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei offered prayers on his body. Hassanzadeh Amoli was elected as one of the "Immortal figures of Iran" in 2003.
Hassanzadeh-Amoli was father-in-law of Iranian conservative politician Baqer Larijani.
