Abd al-Rahman al-Bazzaz (Arabic: ??? ?????? ??????; l20 February 1913– 28 June 1973) was a politician, reformist, and writer.
He was a pan-Arab nationalist and served as the Dean of Baghdad Law College and later as Prime Minister of Iraq.
Al-Bazzaz main political project was the professionalization of the government through increasing access to civilian expertise.
That civic agenda came at the expense of the military.
Al-Bazzaz was charged by the Ba'athist-dominated government of participation in activities against the government and he was tortured and imprisoned.
Al-Bazzaz was finally released because of illness in 1970 and moved to London for treatment where he later died in Baghdad, 28 June 1973.
