Nasser Mohammadkhani (Persian: ناصر محمدخانی, born 7 September 1957) is a retired Iranian footballer.

[4] Mohammadkhani was involved in a public court case in Iran, after his wife Laleh Saharkhizan was found murdered in her apartment on 9 October 2002.

Shahla Jahed, his mistress in a temporary marriage arrangement was convicted of the murder of Laleh.

Mohammadkhani was in Germany when the killing happened, but it emerged later that he was "temporarily married" to Jahed, a practice allowed under Shia Islam and thus under Iranian law.

In 2008, the then chief of Iran's judiciary, Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi, ordered a fresh investigation and did not sanction her execution ruling that her initial conviction (based as it was on a confession she made under duress) was unacceptable.
