Seyed Mohammad Mousavi Eraghi (Persian: سید محمد موسوی عراقی, born 22 August 1987 in Dezful) is an Iranian volleyball player, who plays as a middle blocker for the Iran men's national volleyball team.^[1]

His family is originally from Arak and because in the past the city's name was "Eragh-e Ajam" (meaning Persian Iraq, or non-Arab Iraq) his family name is followed by "Eraghi" (Iraqi).

Mousavi was invited to national team in 2008. He was named Best Blocker at the 2008 Olympic Qualification Tournament, where Iran ended up on sixth place and missed qualification for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. He was named twice the Best Blocker in Asian Championship. He made a brilliant performance in 2013 World League and was named Best Middle Blocker in 2015 World Cup.

He started his career in volleyball club Louleh Sazi Ahvaz. He played for Petrochimi Bandar Imam, Paykan Tehran, Giti Pasand Isfahan, Kalleh Mazandaran, Matin Vatamin. Mousavi has won eleven championships while playing for five teams in Iranian Super League. He has received offers to play for some of the world’s leading teams, including Al Arabi of Qatar and an unnamed Italian Serie A club but decided to play in Iranian League. He was named the Best Blocker in 2010 Club World Championship with Paykan. He played for three years in Sarmayeh Bank until 2018. Mousavi joined Indykpol AZS Olsztyn in September 2019. Mohammad Mousavi has been named as the best blocker of the PlusLiga season.
