Taha Muhie-eldin Marouf (Arabic: طٰهٰ مُحْيِي الدِّين مَعْرُوف; 1924 – 7 August 2009) was an Iraqi-Kurdish politician and diplomat who served as the Vice president of Iraq from 1974 until the U.S. invasion in April 2003. He was also a member of the Revolutionary Command Council, making him one of the few Kurdish leaders to hold a prominent position within the Baathist regime, albeit in a largely ceremonial capacity.
