Lieutenant General Nasser Moghaddam (Persian: ناصر مقدم; 24 June 1921 – 11 April 1979) was an Iranian military officer and intelligence chief who served as the fourth and final director of SAVAK from 6 June 1978 to 12 February 1979. He assumed the position after the arrest of General Nematollah Nassiri in 1978, following an order issued by the Shah. Moghaddam, along with Nassri and Nassiri's predecessor, Hassan Pakravan, was found guilty of corruption and subsequently sentenced to death on 11 March 1979, in accordance with the order of Ayatollah Khomeini.
