}}{{check|date=February 2012}}) was a political figure active in Afghanistan, particularly in Northern Afghanistan during the 1980s, when he played a key role in the establishment of Sar-e Pol Province in 1988. Historian of Afghanistan Neamatollah Nojumi notes that Mihanparast's citizenship is unclear, as he both served as an Afghan politician, and as an employee of a Soviet embassy and later Soviet deputy consul general in Balkh, as well as serving as a Soviet military officer.{{cite book|title=The Rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan: Mass Mobilization, Civil War, and the Future of the Region|author=Nojumi, N.|date=2002|publisher=Palgrave Macmillan|isbn=9780312294021|url=https://archive.org/details/riseoftalibani00neam|url-access=registration|page=[https://archive.org/details/riseoftalibani00neam/page/80 80]|accessdate=2015-04-01}}
