Abbasqoli Khan Mo'tamed od-Dowleh Javanshir (Persian: عباسقلی معتمدالدوله جوانشیر; died 1861) was an Iranian official from the Javanshir tribe, who served as the first Minister of Justice of Iran from 1858 to 1861.
In 1835, he was appointed governor of the city of Kashan by Mohammad Shah Qajar (r. 1834–1848), but was replaced the following year due to local discontent. After a period of unemployment, he became governor of the Kerman province in 1841, where he initiated agricultural projects and restored the Arg-e Bam castle. He was dismissed in 1843 and, in 1848, was appointed military chief to crown prince Naser al-Din during the latters of governorship of the Azerbaijan province. During the 45-day period between Mohammad Shah's death and Naser al-Din's accession, Abbasqoli Khan oversaw the management of state revenues. He shortly afterward became the governor of Ardabil, Meshginshahr, and Qaradagh, where he successfully quelled lawlessness and tribal conflicts, particularly those involving the Shahsevan tribe. In 1858, he was appointed as Iran's first Minister of Justice, serving until his death.
