Watban Ibrahim al-Nasiri (Arabic: وطبان إبراهيم الناصري‎; 1952 – 13 August 2015) was an Iraqi politician and former Interior Minister of Iraq.

As Interior Minister, Watban was also involved in suppressing the 1991 uprisings in Iraq, specifically in the Baghdad suburbs of Thawra, Shu'la, Hurriya' Bayya', the village of Yousiffiya and the nearby districts of Mahmoudiyah.

After the 2003 invasion of Iraq by a United States-led coalition, Watban was the five of spades in the U.S. military's most-wanted Iraqi playing cards.

On 11 March 2009, Watban was sentenced to death by hanging for his role in the execution of 42 merchants accused of manipulating food prices.
