Mehdi Kouchakzadeh (fa|مهدی کوچکزاده) is an Iranian hydraulic engineer, academic and principlist politician, who is the current member of the Islamic Consultative Assembly since 2024. He was also a member of Iranian Parliament from 2004 to 2016.
In an 8th parliament session speech, Ali Motahari claimed that Koochakzadeh has Russian roots and his former surname was "Küçükov" (ru|Кючуков). Koochakzadeh responded by the microphone at Motahari, who responded by shouting, "Shut up and sit down, moron!"
He engaged in a shouting match with Javad Zarif in a June 2015 session, calling him a "traitor". The scene was recorded by cellphone cameras and went viral on social media.
In an August 2014 interview, he said that the majority of Iranian journalists "write lies in return for money." In 2013, Koochakzadeh called Iranian photographers "pornographers" for taking pictures of parliament members while they were napping during sessions.
Commenting on Marietje Schaake's 2015 visit to Iran, he referred to Schaake as "uncultured" and said her outfit "appropriate for a party and dancing."
