Mohammad-Mehdi Abdekhodaei (Persian: محمدمهدی عبدخدایی) is an Iranian conservative activist.
Son of Sheikh Gholamhosein Mojtahed-e Tabrizi, he had a lower-middle-class bazaari background and was a minor attendant in a small hardware store. In 1952, when he was a 15-year-old member of the Fada'iyan-e Islam, he attempted to assassinate FM Hossein Fatemi who survived the shooting. Abdekhodaei was tried as a juvenile and improsoned for twenty months.
He revived the Fada'iyan-e Islam after the Iranian Revolution, though the organization is not a significant actor.
