Mamed Iskenderov (17 December [O.S. 4 December] 1915 – 28 May 1985) was the chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic from 10 July 1959 to 29 December 1961. He was a member of the Communist Party.
An ethnic Kurd, he was one of the few representatives of the indigenous minorities of the Azerbaijan SSR appointed to important government posts because he was officially registered as “Azerbaijani” (since the leadership of the Azerbaijan SSR pursued a policy of forced assimilation of its indigenous peoples, including the Kurds, among other things registering members of these communities in documents as “Azerbaijanis”).
