Mammadrafi Ismayil oghlu Mammadov (Azerbaijani: Məmmədrəfi İsmayıl oğlu Məmmədov) was Minister of Defense of Azerbaijan from September 2, 1993 until February 6, 1995.

In 1967, he graduated from the Tambov Artillery and Technical School and in the rank of lieutenant was sent for further service in the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany.

Lieutenant General Mammadov was deputy chief commander of Leningrad Military District before he was invited to lead the Ministry of Defense in Azerbaijan.

[4] He was appointed to the post at powerful colonel Suret Huseynov's request when Aliyev assumed power in June 1993,[5] mainly because of his close ties to Russian military officials, including the Russian Defense Minister, Pavel Grachev, in the hope that closer military ties with Russia would benefit Azerbaijan.

During his official visit to Russia in 1994, Mammadrafi Mammadov agreed to station two regiments of Russian armed forces in Azerbaijan which was announced by Grachev during the joint press conference.

[9] After the war, he also tried to arrange a 3,500 German peacekeeping force on Karabakh frontlines under auspices of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe.
