Mohamad bin Aziz (29 July 1940 – 24 December 2020) was the Member of the Parliament of Malaysia for the Sri Gading constituency in the state of Johor from 1999 to 2013. He sat in Parliament as a member of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) party in the governing Barisan Nasional coalition.
Mohamad was a member of the Executive Council (akin to a State Cabinet) of Johor from 1990 to 1995 and the Johor State Government Information Chief from 1995 to 1999. In 1999 he was elected to Parliament for the Sri Gading constituency.
Mohamad caused controversy in 2009 when he called for two ministers in his Barisan Nasional government to resign. In June 2012, he called in Parliament for the execution for treason of the electoral reform activist Ambiga Sreenevasan.
His parliamentary career ended in 2013, when UMNO selected another candidate to contest the Sri Gading constituency. After the 2013 election, he was appointed as the Speaker of the Johor State Legislative Assembly.
He was also Umno Malaysia Deputy Permanent Chairman since 2008.
