Abdolnaser Hemmati (Persian: عبدالناصر همتی, born 9 June 1956[citation needed]) is an Iranian academic, politician, and economist who has been served as the minister of economic and financial affairs since 2024.

Hemmati served as the Governor of the Central Bank of Iran from 2018 to 2021. He was previously vice president of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (1989–1994), and governor of the Central Insurance of Iran (1994–2006; 2016–2018). He ran as a candidate in the 2021 Iranian presidential election, being the sole representative from the moderate wing of Iranian politicians, and was placed third overall in the results.[4]

He registered to run in the 2024 election,[5] but was rejected by the Guardian council. [citation needed]
