Mohamed Omrani (Arabic: محمد العمراني; born August 11, 1979, in Tunis) is a Tunisian taekwondo practitioner, who competed in the men's featherweight category.[1]

Omrani qualified for the Tunisian squad in the men's featherweight class (68 kg) at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by placing second behind Egypt's Tamer Abdelmoneim Hussein and granting a berth from the African Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Cairo, Egypt.[2] [3] He lost his opening match to Australian fighter and two-time Olympian Carlo Massimino with a score of 2–7. With his opponent trailing behind Guatemala's Gabriel Sagastume in the quarterfinals, Omrani denied his chance to compete for the Olympic bronze medal through the repechage rounds.[4]
