Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel (Persian: غلامعلی حداد عادل; born 9 May 1945)[5] is an Iranian conservative and principlist politician and former chairman of the Parliament. He is currently member of the Expediency Discernment Council.

He was the first non-cleric in the post since the Iranian Revolution of 1979. He was one of the candidates in the 2013 presidential election but withdrew on 10 June, four days before the election.[6][7] He is part of "neo-principilist" group in the Iranian political scene.[8]
