Mohammed Mzali (Arabic: محمد مزالي‎, 23 December 1925 – 23 June 2010) was a Tunisian politician.

Mzali was born in Monastir, Tunisia in 1925. He served as Prime Minister from his appointment by President Habib Bourguiba until his dismissal in 1986 amid government-mandated price increases and subsequent rioting.

Mzali fled to France and was replaced by Rachid Sfar. Mzali wrote many books, one of them untitled "Un Premier ministre de Bourguiba témoigne". He served as a member of the International Olympic Committee from 1965 until his death.


Mzali died on 23 June 2010 in Paris, France.[1]
