Mojtaba Taghavi (born February 2, 1968 in Abadan, Iran) is an Iranian former football forward who later became a coach. He began his youth career with Shahin (1987–1989) and Saipa (1989–1991) and spent most of his playing days at Saipa, from 1991 to 2002.

After retiring as a player, Taghavi moved into coaching. He worked as an assistant at Saipa (2004–2006) and Sanat Naft (2007–2008), then managed Sanat Naft (2008–2009), Oghab (2009–2010), Saipa Shomal (2011–2012), and Saipa (2012–2013). In 2013 he briefly took charge of Mes Kerman, but resigned just days before the new season after being attacked by fans during a training session.

He then signed with Zob Ahan as head coach, to begin on January 1, 2014, but was sacked on February 25, 2014. He is currently the technical manager at Naft Masjed Soleyman.
