Reza Hekmat (Persian: رضا حکمت; 1891 – 15 March 1978) He was a speaker of Parliament of Iran from 1947 to 1952 and 1953 to 1963.

Hekmat was the Prime Minister of Iran from December 18 to December 29, 1947, but he resigned from the prime ministership before the formation of the government, for this reason, he is not included in the Prime Ministers of Iran.[2]

He was born in Shiraz in 1891 and died in Tehran in 1978 at the age of 87. Some sources claim that Hekmat’s paternal family were Iranian Jews who had converted to Islam during the mid-nineteenth century.[3]
