Mohammad Bagher Nobakht Haghighi (Persian: محمد باقر نوبخت حقیقی‎‎; born 13 December 1950 in Rasht, Iran) is an Iranian politician and economist and currently Hassan Rouhani's adviser for Supervision and Strategic Affairs, Head of Management and Planning Organization and also Spokesperson of the Government. He is also leader of the Moderation and Development Party.

He was a representative of Rasht in the Islamic Consultative Assembly for four consecutive terms. He was the spokesman for Rouhani's 2013 presidential election and also Deputy of Economic Research Department at the Center for Strategic Research,[1] a think tank led by Rouhani.

Following Rouhani's election, Nobakht was appointed as the president's liaison to the legislative branch led by Ali Ardashir Larijani, with the mandate to "establish communication and moderation" between the two branches of government; Larijani appointed Mohammad-Reza Bahonar as Nobakht's counterpart.[2] He was appointed as adviser for Supervision and Strategic Affairs on 5 August 2013 by Rouhani. On 11 August, he was appointed vice president for planning and strategic supervision.[3]
