Abbas Hajari ({{langx|fa|عباس حجری}}) was an Iranian communist and military officer.

He was member of the Tudeh Military Network that was uncovered in 1954, as a result he spent 25 years in prison until 1978. After the Iranian Revolution, he ran for an Assembly of Experts for Constitution seat from Tehran constituency.{{citation|title=Near East/North Africa Report|volume=2012|page=58|year=1979|publisher=Executive Office of the President, Foreign Broadcast Information Service|series=Joint Publications Research Service}} He was Secretariat-in-charge of Tehran provincial committee.{{citation|first=Sepehr|last=Zabir|title=The Left in Contemporary Iran (RLE Iran D)|date=2012|publisher=CRC Press|isbn=978-1-136-81263-7|page=67}}
