Mohamed bin Hamzah (Jawi: محمد بن حمزه; 5 March 1918 – 19 February 1993) was a Malaysian vexillographer, soldier and architect. He was the designer of the Jalur Gemilang, that is the national flag of Malaysia.

He was most famous for his works in designing the Flag of Malaysia (formerly Malaya), the Jalur Gemilang, when the formation of the Federation of Malaya called for a new flag for the nation, to replace the short-lived Malayan Union flag. He was also known for designing Johor royal invitation cards and royal insignias, coat of arms of Johor,^[1] as well as buildings such as the Diamond Jubilee Hall in Johor.^[2]
