Gholam-Reza Nikpay (غلامرضا نیکپی), also Nikpay ( – Tehran, 11 April 1979), PhD from London School of Economics, was deputy prime minister of Iran and Mayor of Tehran, Iran. He became Mayor of Tehran in 1969, succeeding Javad Shahrestani. Prior to that, he had served as Iran's Minister of Housing (1966–1969). During his tenure as the Housing Minister, an earthquake rocked the Province of Khorasan, causing mass destruction. He was in charge of rebuilding. It turned out to be one of the best rebuilding projects in the country's history. In 1977, he was appointed to Iranian Senate by the Shah. He was executed on 11 April 1979 on the orders of a revolutionary tribunal, without legal representation or it appears a chance to defend himself. His execution appears to have been politically motivated. Dr. Nikpay is one of the victims listed in the 13 March 1980 Amnesty International report. International human rights organizations have drawn attention to reports indicating that the Islamic Republic's authorities executed individuals on trumped up charges.
