Saeed Mehdiyoun (Persian: سعید مهدیون; 1928 - died 15 August 1980) was an Iranian fighter pilot. He was appointed as the commander of Imperial Iranian Air Force in mid-February 1979 replacing Amir Hossein Rabii in the post.[1] However, he was ousted two days later for lack of popularity among the subordinate personnel.[1] While trying to flee the country, he was arrested for taking part in Nojeh coup plot and subsequently executed for it on 15 August 1980.[1]
