Grand Ayatollah Mirza Abd al-Hadi Husayni Shirazi (Persian: عبدالهادى حسينى شيرازى; Arabic: عبد الهادي الحسيني الشيرازي; 1882 – July 13, 1962) was an Iranian Shia marja' and poet.[1][2][3] After the death of Abu al-Hasan Esfehani, Shirazi was considered to be one of the highest ranking scholars in Iraq, along with Muhsin al-Hakim (possibly higher ranking than al-Hakim)[4] and some less popular jurists like Muhammad-Husayn Kashif Ghitaa, Mahmoud Shahroudi, and Muhammad-Ridha Al Yasin.[5] His brother-in-law, Mirza Mahdi Shirazi was the leading scholar in Karbala.

He was one of the leading scholars that issued an anti-communist fatwa during the rise of the "red tide" in Iraq under Abd al-Karim Qasim.
