Abbas Eskandari (Persian: عباس اسکندری, romanized: ʿAbbās Eskandarī; 1897–1955) was an Iranian Communist politician and a co-founder of Tudeh Party of Iran.

[1] However, he was deemed by the establishment figures of the party, Ovanessian and Kambakhsh, too "corrupted" by wealth, and was soon eased out.

[3] On 18 October, one day before Qavam dismissed cabinet ministers from Tudeh, he was replaced by Mousavizadeh.

[5] Fakhreddin Azimi describes him as "the vociferous supporter of Qavam who had found it politically opportune to champion Iran's sovereign rights over its sources of oil as well as over Bahrain's".

[4] In September 1948, he offered a £80,000 reward for anyone who succeeds in restoring Bahrain to Iranian soil and solving the problem with the Anglo-Persian Oil Company.
