Mustafa al-Kharoubi (1939 – 16 July 2015), also transliterated as Kharubi, was a Libyan general and politician under Muammar Gaddafi.

[1] In the aftermath of Muhayshi's failed coup, only five of the original twelve RCC members remained: Gaddafi, Jalloud, Abu-Bakr Yunis Jabr, Khweldi Hameidi, and Kharoubi.

[3] Kharoubi was arrested after the civil war and allegedly tortured by former Libyan Islamic Fighting Group member Khaled al-Sharif at the al-Hadba prison.

The attorney general's office claimed he had died of cancer at home in Tripoli with his family days after being released on compassionate grounds.

[3] On 27 July 2015, Mehdi Bouaouaja, the Tunisian lawyer for Baghdadi Mahmudi, alleged that Kharoubi had died after being poisoned.
