Mawlawi Mohammed Islam Mohammadi (d. January 26, 2007) was a Taliban governor and member of the National Assembly of Afghanistan. He was regional governor of Bamyan Province in Afghanistan when the Buddhas of Bamyan were destroyed in 2001.

In 2005, he was elected to parliament by the neighboring province of Samangan, as election laws in post-Taliban reconstruction Afghanistan did not prevent former Taliban officials from running for election.^[1] On January 26, 2007, he was assassinated in Kabul on his way to prayers.^[2]
