Brigadier general Mohammad Jamali-Paqaleh (died 2013) was an Iranian military officer enlisted in the Revolutionary Guards.

Jamali-Paqaleh fought in the Iran–Iraq War and he had been trained together with Qasem Soleimani, the current commander of the Quds Force.[1]

At the time of his burial, the Iranian Mehr News Agency reported that Jamali-Paqaleh had been volunteering to guard the Sayyida Zainab shrine near Damascus, likely the Sayyidah Zaynab Mosque, while "defending the people against terrorists" in the Syrian civil war.[2] Jamali-Paqaleh was reported to have been killed by Syrian rebels either in the final days of October or early November 2013. He was buried on 5 November in Kerman with full military honours.[2]
