Mirza Mohammad Mihrani (Persian: میرزا محمد مهرانی) known as Mirza Mohammad Talish (Persian: میرزا محمد تالش) was an Iranian nobleman and prominent military commander of Talysh origin. He was a descendant of Mihranids and his ancestors were the hereditary governors of Astara. Mirza Mohammad was the governor of Astara, and later became the Safavid governor of Yazd. He was married to a sister of Sultan-Ali Beg Chākirlu, the Aq Qoyunlu governor of Ardabil.
Mirza Mohammad appears in sources from 1500. He rebuked his serving official, Hamzeh Beg, for attempting to assassinate Ismail I (r. 1501–1524) during his residence in Talish, but soon weakened in his own support. He was intending to betray Ismail but was dissuaded by another follower of Ismail. He was a very active campaigner for the Shah Ismail and participated in numerous expeditions. Under Shah Ismail, he was ranked among the Qizilbash tiyūl-holders. It is not clear whether he remained the government of Astara since he appeared in command of qurchi troops of Talish during these campaigns.
Another post that he held during Ismail's reign, was the superintendent of the Safavid Shrine.
