Mirza Mohammad Taher Vahid Qazvini (Persian: محمد‌طاهر وحید قزوینی; died 1700), was an Iranian bureaucrat, poet, and historian, who served as the grand vizier of two Safavid monarchs, Shah Suleiman (r. 1666–1694) and the latter's son Soltan Hoseyn (r. 1694–1722) from 1691 to 1699.

He is also notable for writing the Abbas-nama, the principal Iranian source regarding the events during the reign of Shah Abbas II (r. 1642–1666).[1]
