Majid Sharif-Vaghefi (Persian: مجید شریف واقفی, 1949–1975) was an Iranian dissident political figure and leading member of the People's Mujahedin of Iran (MEK) who was assassinated in an internal purge staged by the MEK Marxist faction.

[1] One of the three members of the MEK's central committee from 1972 to 1975,[3] he was considered the leader of the group's Islamist faction that refused to accept Marxism.

[4] By the spring of 1975, when the majority of the MEK turned to Marxism, he was given an ultimatum by the other two members of the central committee who became Marxists, Taghi Shahram and Bahram Aram, to accept the new ideology.

[2] In order to "raise his political consciousness", he was given the chance to choose between a move to the MEK cell in Mashhad, leaving the country or to work in factories for a while.

[1] Following the Iranian Revolution, the place he studied was renamed to "Sharif University of Technology" in his honour.
