Mohsen Sazegara (Persian: محسن سازگارا; born 5 January 1955) is an Iranian journalist and pro-democracy political activist.

His reformist policies clashed with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, eventually resulting in Sazegara's arrest in early 2003.

Following the end of the Iran–Iraq War in 1988 and the death of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1989, he turned down further government posts, saying that his refusal was in order to continue his study of history.

[10] Later that same year, he was arrested again on June 15, this time with his eldest son Vahid Sazegara, on the order of Tehran's public prosecutor, Saeed Mortazavi.

[14] In March 2005, Sazegara left the UK for the United States to be a visiting scholar at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy.

[15] In 2009, Sazegara appealed for Iranian dissidents to avoid fragmentation and unite behind former presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi.
