Mohammad Ebrahim Mirza Amirteymour Kalali (5 October 1894 – 10 July 1988) (Persian: امیرتیمور کلالی‎‎), also known as Sardar Nosrat, was a prominent Iranian statesman and aristocrat.

For generations his family led the Teymouri clan, and his father, Amir Alimardan Khan, was granted the title of Nosrat al-Molk by his wife's (Princess Vajie-al-saltaneh) uncle, Naser al-Din Shah Qajar. He served as minister of interior in the cabinet of Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh from 1950 to 1953.

Amirteymour's eldest daughter, Naheed, married the Indian prince Iskander Mirza who also became the first president of Pakistan. His son, Mohammad Reza, served as Iran's ambassador to the United Kingdom, Soviet Union and India.
