Mohammad Zabihullah was an anti-Soviet resistance leader in Afghanistan in the 1980s. Zabihullah was a former religious school teacher, member of the Jamiat-e Islami movement, and lead the faction in Balkh Province until his assassination by KhAD in December 1984, which threw his resistance in Balkh into disarray.{{cite book|last=Rubin|first=Barnett R.|title=The Fragmentation of Afghanistan: State Formation and Collapse in the International System|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=laG03iJF7t8C&pg=PA238|year=2002|publisher=Yale University Press|isbn=978-0-300-09519-7|page=238}}

He commanded Balkh with several thousand fighters and was one of the best known commanders to the Western press in the 1980-1984 period. He had been described as an "excellent organizer." Zabiullah, like Massoud, also established civil administration in his region such as literacy classes and schools.{{cite book| last=Amstutz| first=J.
