Mir Teymur Mir Alakbar oghlu Yagubov (Azerbaijani: Mir Teymur Mir Ələkbər oğlu Yaqubov; 6 November [O.S. 24 October] 1904 – 17 February 1970) was an Azerbaijani politician who served as the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Azerbaijan Communist Party between 1953 and 1954.

Land surveyor by profession, Yagubov worked as a teacher and held various roles in the Azerbaijani Komsomol. From 1938, he was involved with the NKVD troika and served as Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the Azerbaijan SSR, before becoming People's Commissar (Minister) for Internal Affairs, a position he held until 1950. After returning to party work, he held high-ranking positions within the Azerbaijan Communist Party and became the head of the Azerbaijan SSR in April 1953. He was dismissed 10 months later, in February 1954, after criticism of his organizational skills, and was expelled from the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1956.
