Saeid Mohammadpour Karkaragh (Persian: سعید محمدپور کرکرق, pronounced Sigh-eed Moha-mad-pour-car-kara, born March 3, 1993, in Ardabil, Iran) is an Iranian weightlifter.
Saeid finished fifth in the 2012 London Olympics, but in 2016 after retesting the samples of 2012 Summer Olympics athletes, it was discovered that the top four in his weight class had committed doping. Therefore, he became the gold medalist and Olympic Champion in 94 kg weightlifting category. He is also a bronze medalist at the 2011 World Championships in Paris.
