The Association of Combatant Clerics (Persian: مجمع روحانیون مبارز; majma'-e rowhāniyūn-e mobārez), also translated as the Assembly of Combatant Clerics, is a pro-reform Iranian political party, established March 16, 1988. It is not to be confused with the Combatant Clergy Association (Persian: جامعه روحانیت مبارز) which is a conservative political party.

Tensions within Iran's Islamic Republic Party led to its dissolution in 1987. The Combatant Clerics League was part of the left-wing view favoring a focus "on exporting the revolution and calling for the state's monopoly over the economy."[1]

After the resignation of Mehdi Karroubi from the post of secretary general, the party had no secretary general until late August 2005, when Mohammad Mousavi Khoeiniha was elected as the new secretary general. The other high official in the party is Mohammad Khatami, the Chairman of the Central Council and former President of Iran.

Its current leading members include Mohammad Khatami, Mohammad Mousavi Khoeiniha (former presecutor general of Iran), Rasoul Montajebnia (former Majlis representative), and Mohammad Ali Abtahi (former Vice President of Legal and Parliamentary Affairs).

As of August 2005, some members of the party's central council are:
