Mona Paad (born in 1974 in Tehran) is an Iranian sculptor, soprano singer, translator, and industrial design engineer. She is one of the active contemporary sculptors and was educated in the school of Parviz Tanavoli.

Paad has been Iran’s representative in the International Art Medal Federation (FIDEM), and since 2018, she has been part of the jury in the Sohrab Art Medal Competition. Her works are kept in private collections in Tehran, Dubai, England, France, Germany, and the US.

Paad translated the book "Lost Wax Casting: old, new and Inexpensive Methods" in 2017, and in it, she discussed simple, low-cost, and homemade casting methods.

In a September 4, 2010 interview with Sole, Parviz Tanavoli was asked about the artists he follows with interest. In response, he expressed admiration for the sculptures of Mona Paad, particularly noting their contemporary mystical messages and poetic qualities rooted in the mystical poetry of figures such as Rumi. Tanavoli highlighted Paad as part of the generation known as "Children of the Revolution", born during the 1979 revolution, an era marked by challenges as their childhood and adolescence were significantly impacted by the revolution and the Iran–Iraq War.
